More on Joe Murphy at an unlinkable site: Detroit Free Press.
Very interesting and all too common.
I've interacted with homeless people with alcohol problems and none of them exhibited the loss of muscular control that Murphy is going thru now. There's something definitely wrong with his brain function.
With that being said, he did approach the NHL for help but they turned him down........No, they let him down.......This is a tragedy.
