That's really unfortunate.

It wasn't that long ago he was talking about getting clean and wanting to be a positive role model for young people. He was saying that he didn't want young people to look at him and see how he was a dropout and someone who made bad decisions (i.e., drugs), but was still very successful. He knew for him, it was a fine line between being a TV star and being dead in a ditch and he didn't want others trying to follow that path.

It sucks that he lost the battle (or at least it seems pending the medical examination), but hopefully it's not a lesson wasted on the same people he was hoping to inspire.
