He waited too long to leave a good looking corpse.
I wonder how many new book rejects it took to push him over the edge?

His last book, Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and The Downward Spiral of Dumbness was published last year.

He was pretty Gonzo :(

Well that really sucks, but if anyone kills themselves is a fucking pussy.

Taking the easy way out isn't the way to go. You have to stick it out just like the rest of us.

Sorry, but I have no sympothy for anyone that kills themselves.

Don't care if you don't like my point of view either.

I agree, suicides are assholes.
But if it was to stop a painful lingering death, they are only half assholes.

Was the guy sick?

I don't know what drives ppl to suicide. When they carry it out life to them must seem pretty dismal.

I say buck it up and take it like a man!

ppl kill themselves over the dumbest things, like this guy here in SLC killed himself because his wife wanted a divorce. wtf?

Better not say that, he may just do it.

Killing yourself is just plain stupid.

I think that's an American bias.

Don't forget in some cultures suicide is a way to regain at least some honour that is lost.

I think it's true that people kill themselves over stupid reasons, but I'm not gonna sit here and say that it's wrong or that the "suiciders" are going to hell.
