I did not know who this fellow was. I read a couple of articles to find out more about him, and he sounds like a troubled person, not a happy person.
Was this an overdose death?
No. He hung himself.
His troubles are very common for those who seek the approval of others through a popularity contest in the media. As Billy Joel speaks in his song... put in the back of a discount rack like an old magazine...
It is an up and down roller coaster of being on top and then falling. For a former heroin addict, he was missing his high.
I tend to agree with you....he was never on some path of feeling happy about where he was in life. I don’t think he was stressed out....just that he continually searched for something to anchor himself and to feel attached. He never found it.
There can be various successful people in life who seem to have had lucky breaks...gained status....achieved something that the rest of us would desire. And behind it...dark turmoil because they can’t recognize this for what it is.
He was found hung in a hotel room in France. Aside from his recent attacks on Weinstein and Hillary. There is no evidence of his depression lately.
