I for one am not obsessed with the guy but I recognized that he left his mark. He had a way to cut through the bs and speak about the elephant in the room or cut to the crux of many socio-economic-political issues.

I think I saw him once or twice but not enough for his spell to be cast so it seems.
Acknowledging Palestinian & basic human rights is just a no brainer to me, nothing outstanding + the whole eating weird shit thing is not my bag.

What I really need is the # of euthanasia hotline for future reference.

He ate plenty of critters dint he?

he actually killed a goat on TV as a honour gift from an Africain tribe leader. He has often talked how that troubled him.

@Lukian, @GregGasiorowski

Nah dudes, he killed himself. I just didn't know him to be a killer, very surprising.

@Lukian
I don't understand what would make it would be any more troubling any other animal.

@GregGasiorowski his description of the scene showed how troubled he was of taking a life with his own hands. We would probably respect our food more (not wasting it) if we all experienced that ourselves.

I grew up on a farm, I was close enough.

@Morganfreeman why do you think that?

He was a troubled soul. It shows in his interviews and how he approach the discussion on his show.

@Lukian then you saw something I didn't notice.

@balou it appeared that his past addictions were still haunting him (not always but in certain cases that he brought it up)

His eyes were always sad. I never saw them happy. Yes, he smiled with his face, but his eyes never smiled. I always considered him dark and a troubled soul. So, while I'm shocked and saddened by his suicide, I'm not surprised at the same time.

There have been so many celebrity suicides lately. It's getting insane. I don't know. Maybe not. They used to hide these things from us. That may be the difference. I know suicide is on the rise across the board. It's just sad.

I think we are going to see more and more suicide for the average person since healthcare is more unaffordable than ever before. I have been uninsured since 2012. If I were suicidal, I would not reach out for help because I'd have to pay thousands out of pocket for good care. What average person can do that? The free or cheap help available, in my experience, only makes it worse. No thank you, thank you very much.

I've had to let other health issues slide sue to cost, I know I would try to self-help myself through this, too. If healthcare continues like it has been since 2012, I will never have health insurance again. I will continue to hope for the best and continue forward on my own.

Yeah, I think we are going to see more and more suicide because people are mentally exhausted trying to make this world work for a myriad of reasons.
