If this doesn't show our society's unhealthy obsessions with phones, then I don't know what will. Some counties down here have resorted to removing cell phones from students in public school for the entire time they are on campus. That has been met with threats of lawsuits from parents, and in some cases, beatings of teachers who took away the phones by the students.
Maybe the phrase "digital detox" needs to be taken as seriously as we do alcohol or drug rehab? I don't fully know the answer, but a lot of bad #### seems to come from being attached non-stop to our devices.

I don't disagree - phone use is at ridiculous levels by way too many people both young and old. For me the worst is when people even just have devices out 24/7 in day to day life whether they are using them or not, and when some parents rarely even watch their kids sports at practices, and instead bury themselves in the phone to "pass the time". None of this is good for relationships, and it's certainly not good for the mind if a person can never just sit and watch or be in a situation that isn't stimulating.
In this Lucic case, I'm betting the phone is just the final straw of what has been a growing issue under the surface for a while that may be infidelity related, drug and alcohol related, or just stress and anger related.
Either way it's sad to see and hopefully he gets the help he needs and they re-evaluate the relationship before this gets to an even worse point down the road.
