I'm at a loss for words. His wife just called me to tell me. I know he's put on quite a few pounds in the last few years, and has always dabbled in drugs (but nothing too heavy to do this). I didn't ask of the cause of death because I didn't want to create any more pain on her side.

Left behind a wife and two young daughters, ages 5 and 8 maybe?

Biggest problem is they have a very nice house with a big mortgage I'm sure, and he used to make $200K or so a year, and she just worked as a hair stylist to bring in some extra income. They're going to have to sell their house and completely change their lifestyle now; they were very irresponsible with money and probably don't have a good life insurance policy.

RIP
