I feel sorry for his kids, but I have no sympathy for drug users and the harm they inflict on themselves. Apparently he couldnt deal with real world issues the way most people do and felt drugs was his only way to cope. He was selfish to think of himself and not his family before sticking that needle in his arm. Was he really that great of an actor? Other than Capote the only thing I remember him in was Along Came Poly and "White Lightning!", other than that; irrelevant. Sad how the media celebrate his life and death and ignore the fact he was a hardcore drug user. Its not like you start on heroine, there was probably a lead up of abuse of other drugs ie: cocaine that lead him down this path. Sorry but not sad at all.

He was on a multi day bender when he died. He was supposed to have his 3 children during his bender, and he bailed on them.
He was traveling around the country drinking,. and shooting up...... His kids will be way better off with their inheritance than him in their lives!
Can we kill this thread now???

A $10k a month habit? What a dick.

I don't know what that equates to in terms of heroin, but from a cost standpoint, I doubt $10K is deemed all that significant to someone in his tax bracket.
