Exactly. We've quickly reached the predictable "how could this have possibly happened?" stage. He was a drug addict. He used very dangerous, uncontrolled substances that he had no way of knowing where they came from or what they contained. Yet, he put these substances in his body, because the reward outweighed the risk in his mind. He gambled with his life just like every one of us who has ever done illegal drugs has done at various times. Unfortunately, he lost the bet this time. By the grace of God, I've never lost that bet. I quit using years ago. Hopefully, I never start up again. If I do, hopefully, I never have to pay the ultimate price for that decision. This is not to say that I don't feel bad for him and more importantly his family and friends he left behind. I'm just saying that it is kind of stupid to ask why. The better question is why does this happen so often to everyday people and nobody cares until it's a "celebrity"?.
