I have never actually heard of this guy, but from some quick research, it soundls like his whole life has been up and down. It is sad that someone with such obvious talent (or so it seems in print), has such problems keeping his off stage life happy. It seems to be that way with alot of entertainers, especially comedians...Lenny Bruce, Freddie Prinze, and so many others.
they keep bringing this up every so often ... i wonder what did happen, i more inclined to believe it was some boozy drug fueled gay orgy and his drowning in the pool was an accident
I wonder if he will do his hilarious "kangaroo walk" as he enters court ...to try and win the favour of the jury early on by diffusing the tension through comedy.
