Tonks:
It is sad. I saw the videos of him on TV showing him as a child and as a young man. It makes you wonder what happened that such a talented and good look child and man took such a turn later. With all of that money, what he really needed was a good therapist. Even a real friend might have helped him. I wonder if he ever had a real friend who loved him for him and not for what he could do for
them. There is such unhealty presure on those in the public eye. Sometimes I wonder it some of it was for PR as a way to give him an extra edge in the press and it got out of hand. We may never know. May he rest, now at last, in peace.
