Shame the guy took the cowards way out, but there you go.

Even if it had been suicide (which it almost certainly wasn't) I never understand why people describe suicide as cowardly. It just doesn't make any sense.

I think people consider it cowardly since you are trying to escape your problems instead of dealing with them directly. Personally I find it hard to believe he took all of the meds at once since its generally a bad idea to mix such things.

Arguably it's misguided but it takes a lot of guts to kill yourself. Most of us have a very strong innate fear of death and it takes a lot of willpower to overcome that.

Remember I had read up on this before posting, and got all the viewpoints. I suggest you do the same. Its very interesting reading. Completely different to what I knew on the subject.

You obviously didn't read up on the subject well enough because you missed the official coroners viewpoint who rules this an accidental overdose.

He used cough medicine, sleeping pills, painkillers and anti depressant (anxiety) drugs. Not something to kill yourself with on purpose, but a person with that kind of (mental and physical) problems might accidentally take too much of these medicines.

It appears he died of Combined Drug Intoxication.
Wow what a way to go. Well at least he had help.
Try changing your mind to top yourself and backing out of that! :o

ACCIDENTAL overdose.
--- End quote ---
and I heard it was ACCIDENTAL "combination"of some sort. totally COMPLETELY accidental. no "easy way out" or anything. he has no reason to kill himself. he is rich,famous,good looking(assuming..no homo),etc.
I went by his place around cooper square nyc to drop off flowers. r.i.p...

Painkillers, anti-depressants, Sleeping Pills, and booze. It was most likely an accident. He was not acting suicidal to anyone around him. He was complaining of not getting enough sleep though. He did not make any preparations or call out for help like most pill suicides do. He did not write a note, etc.
Sounds pretty accidental and tragic to me.
