This is so sad.. Plus his younger brother..
All the article says is it was “catastrophic organ failure.”
But no other details. Man i feel so sad for his family..

What I have read since is that it was very likely an OD. I have some personal feelings on drug abuse and abusers, which I will save from this thread. Having lost a couple friends along the way to similar issues, there is no denying the pain that his friends and family must be feeling. Sad deal all the way around, but thinking about the wasted potential and his inability to harness his supreme talents to do good things are probably what make this the most depressing for me to read.
