And the best part...your family doesn’t get to clean up the mess.

Celebrity must be an awful thing to experience.

It's the pressure of taking one's self too seriously.

Makes me think of the old pre-code film "Dinner At Eight" where John Barrymore commits suicide in his hotel room because he is an over-the-hill aged actor with a drinking problem. He "takes the gaspipe"

If you live in a toilet, most likely you will die in one.

I can think of several celebrities who need to check in and never check out...

Shouldn’t Mike Bloomberg, or Congress, or somebody be clamoring about the need to micromanage the lives of celebrities? /S

Who was the American author who famously said right before his death (he was not a suicide), “Born in a damn hotel room, now I’m going to die in a damn hotel room”? That’s a paraphrase.

Reminds me of the line in Hotel California “You can check out any time you like but you can never leave”.

Isn’t this why the Gideons put Bibles in hotel rooms?

“Velvet ropes of a RIP section”, what’s a RIP section? It would make more sense if he said VIP section. Don’t people proofread anymore?

It may just be as simple as a hotel room is the only place they can go to be by themselves.

I always figured it was because they were out of their local area and didn’t have any idea the local dope was a lot stronger.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

Maybe they’re buying drugs in an unfamiliar city and unsure of the toxicity or purity of what they consume. Who knows...

Considering the subject of the article, that’s an easy enough of a substitution for an editor to miss.

Ask anyone who works at a five star hotel the number of people who checked for good at them.
It’s a dirty little secret at fine hotels,
