    I had neve heard or read of this person, or persons (girlfriend), until this post/bloggings, however, from what I read, he inspired and entertained the masses in the UK (kudos to him)…………..HOWEVER, I hope that people that all the people that loved him - and read these blogs, will LEARN something from this tragedy…….REGARDLESS of who you are, or what your life in lot is, drugs will only lead to 1 of 2 paths - DEATH (either by one's own hand, or someone else's) …..OR……..JAIL! (YES, there IS a possibility of coming CLEAN, via rehab, etc), HOWEVER, take a look at people around you, that you know do drugs (or used to), I bet one, many, or all of them, either DIED, or went to JAIL!!!!!!

    Next time you elect to do drugs, REMEMBER, it's DEATH or JAIL
    (then, take your pick)

    Peace to all.

    If this is your idea of a joke, NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
    If you are not joking, please please get help. Suicide is easy enough for you (to do, not to choose to do) but it is so hard for everyone else. Please don't.

    It's hanged when referring to a person, not hung. No matter what the tense.
