It's to be expected that anyone who dies under the age of 18 is made out to be a saint. It doesn't really matter what kind of life the kid actually lead because nothing negative is typically said about them. Then if someone is a couple years older and dies in the same fashion they are fair game to have the truth told. Not really sure exactly why things are this way, but that's the way the news presents it to us.
I was talking about this last night and it's odd the things people are saying about him in comparison with the other details, like no job, school dropout and sold drugs. When the news showed a picture of him, he looked like a wanna be gangster with his straight brimmed hat, big chain and flashing gangs signals. Now I am going to make a blind judgement on this guy, but he doesn't seem like an upstanding member of society to me.
