He's a famous writer (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...which became a movie starring Johnny Depp....also Bill murray played him in a different movie).

Is this for real? where did you see this?

It's very sad, and quite odd.

I'm sure there are many places to read this story, but here's one link.

I only say it's odd because he was reportedly going through better times in his life.

neither movie can do justice to that great book.

though it helps to have been been playing with similar fire at the time it was written.
no one could match his excesses.

IIRC, he just got married last year or so. Sounded very happy in his ESPN Page 2 columns at that time.

Sad news.
