No doubt a victim of a l.life style brought on by the car crash and an adiction to booze and pain meds. I buried one of my friends this year who died at 43 from an od of booze pain pills ect from the cronic pain brought on from a car crash. Truly sorry to hear that he has passed

Ugh. I also liked much of his music - interesting stuff. Sad. So many folks seem to pass around the holidays (sister's mother-in-law died today). I wonder if it is because it is such a spiritual time of year. Or if it just seems like more go around this time of year? Regardless, sad news.

Yeah, it's weird. Lot of deaths at the hospital this time of year. 3 in CCU yesterday. Of course, lot of admits due to alcohol... accidents, withdraw, etc.  Always a big spike in suicide attempts too, oddly a lot of them from tylenol OD. Nasty way to die.....you end up w/ liver failure. Narcotics plus booze would definitely be a better way out if that is your intent.

Oh..I almost forgot. Vic did some cool music. I hope he has found some peace. We all have to exit the stage. Maybe he just decided to when.
