This is a tough topic... but I too am going to side with Nowhere Man and Torog... the man shot himself in the head.... that is cowardly and pathetic... I just recently saw Fear and Loathing for the first time last week... and I'm not sure whether to think the film is a masterpiece or a genuine piece of shit.... but I do respect what he did in that film.... but it still doesn't make me feel sad for him that he is dead.... i feel bad for his family cause of what he did to them by committing suicide.
