Nearly all of what you will hear about this immense talent is "drink and drugs" the "27 Club" "what a waste" etc.  All this does is perpetuate myth and stigma.

While sudden fame can certainly accelerate matters, in thousands of ordinary cases each year,
untreated mental illness = death.  It's been a very sad weekend indeed.
