He had gone thru detox. Guess he’s back in now
The only reason we hear about this story is because he is a news media broadcaster. How may ‘unimportant” people who have done the same thing are ever written about, not many I can assure you.
IMO this is just another human begin who seems to have a drinking problem. I’d bet there are some right here on FR that could be the same guy? I am not accusing anyone just pointing out it can happen to anyone.
