Whoa he killed himself. I wonder if he had health problems.

Fucking great writer.

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.

I have an old early edition of his Hell's Angels book.

He was pretty Gonzo :(

after writing fear and loathing... its not really a shock that he might be capable of such a thing.

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.

He wouldnt write me the sequel to Fear and Loathing staring Yahoo Serious and a computer generated Jim Varney. And a talking toilet.

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?
