I heard some interesting conjecture last night. RW was in Hazeldon this summer being treated for severe depression, what are the chances that he was on psych meds? Or stopped taking them on his own? The come-down can be dangerous from those, people are never supposed to abruptly stop taking them because of danger of suicide.

Mind you, this is pure conjecture with no first-hand knowledge but illuminates another reason not to judge the poor guy. We have no idea what really happened in the last little while or what his true mental state might have been.

I also walked into my favorite diner alone for a bowl of turkey chili last night and ran into a friend who is comedian and film actor, wound up eating with him and another one in town from NY who knew and worked with RW. Almost everyone past a certain point in that profession knew him and has stories, etc. He was massively admired and liked. I did not know him and mostly listened, it was an interesting meal.

Damn shame, this whole thing.
