Same thing happened to a guy in my high school. Great education, great career, but had a drug problem. Disappeared for a long time. They finally IDed a body underneath a bridge. What the extended family think is that he started ODing and the people he was with ditched him. Body was so decomposed had to ID him by his teeth. His best friend was in the military out of


Three junkies I grew up with and went kindergarten through high school did this. All doing Teddy's and Betty's in Motel 6 and when one started to overdose they just let him and took his dope. Then after he died they left and didn't tell anyone and we found him 4 days later. A body 4 days in a hot arse motel room in BR in August isn't a pretty sight and looks nothing like the person.


And the reason he needs a gofundme page is because he was a country singer that had not hit the big time.

a bit overly critical (as well as being in poor taste) dont you think? this was an accident. one could say the same for any situation resulting in a fatal accident. Or do you think he committed suicide?


No, it's not overly critical at all. They attempted to go on a small boat in a winter storm packing 50+ mph winds. They should be nominated for a fricking Darwin award. The actual report says the boat was too small for 2 people and a dog. These idiots challenged the ultimate widow maker in Mother Nature and came up short. This wasn't some accident that was unavoidable.

And you know for certain he had life insurance? I'd bet $100 he did not. Like most people his age.

I'm betting his label probably made sure he had some type of insurance.

If you read the link, it says the gofundme was set up to fund the costs of the private search party that was put together. Paying hotel expenses, etc.

Yes, you are a douche and seem to care too much one way or the other whether this guy dies or not. It's his life, let him live it.

Your condescension is indicative of a very sheltered life.

Nice choice of words.

Yeah, I actually think about the shite I do and how it could possibly affect my family before I do it.

Glad the dog survived. Not his fault that his owner was an idiot.

Except it's not just his life. He has a wife who probably depended on him. It was pretty selfish of him to play with fire.

According to the GoFundMe Page, he died in the shape of a cross looking up at Heaven and experienced no pain. Just drifted off into sleep. Surely God was with him so he could die so poetically and such.

Whatever she needs to tell herself.

She's hot. Husband made a very poor choice.

Would have been nice if Jesus had helped a brother out and not let him die. I'm sure Craig would have appreciated that just a tad.
