My 2 c..

Aside from being a talented pop musician, I think he was a very emotionally and mentally disturbed person, who more than likely because of his situation, fame, and money, never received the treatment or support he really needed, at any stage during his life. I'm not sure I can think of any celebrity who throughout their career has had to put up with more abuse and slander from the media, let alone from their own family/childhood. If he were the same person without the fame and money, I'm fairly sure the kind of treatment he's had at various stages from people would've resulted in news more for being completely the wrong way to treat a mentally/emotionally ill person. Instead for the most part his life has been open to so much more than any normal man/woman I would think could deal with.. let alone someone apparently predisposed to such issues.

In all I thnik it is really, really sad. Last I heard it was a prescribed drug OD that caused it? Which is not surprising. As much as he really is not at all normal, any kind of public mistreatment because of someone's mental instability is kind of fucked up. I'm pretty sure he was a really sad and lonely person inside. There aren't many uniquely talented people out there who don't end up that way, though. Through being misunderstood, or used, or whatever. Still doesn't make it okay though. It's a lonely world when you're different.
