Always sad when someone sees death as the only way out. Pray for his family and kids.
“Let the family bury their loved one first and then we’ll talk.”
Sure, let them bury him so you can cut him a new a$$hole even when he’s six feet under!

my heart goes out to the family esp the kids.
yes let’s talk about this. this is tragic…but i do think we need to talk. there is a time and place this ain’t it.
can’t believe i am agreeing with srose.
Yeah, I have A LOT to say about this one……”donations”…really?
@ Cee … it is possible that certain provisions were not in place for the children. I know if something happened to me and my fam was getting the run around from the insurance companies, I wouod not mind them kindly taking “donations” for my child opposed to flowers for me who will not be able to appreciate or benefit from them. Wise move if you ask me.
Also this is SAD indeed, I expected some story to come out from the woodworks on this one. When suicide occurs, people always are left to specualte/debate the why and what led to, as a way to understand IMO.
@ iyonah, Well, since the floor was opened for discussion which was not my intent. I didnt make an opinion either way………Yes, i DO in fact agree that-that may be the reason they have requested donations in lieu of flowers, but what I DID NOT speak on was the fact that there is a need. A music exec without provsions for his children? I know the probability is likely, but is boggles y mind all the same. I myself have no problem whatsoever with the fact that they are asking. My concern comes from the fact that there is a need. We as PEOPLE at times have our priorities slightly askew and I hope his peers and persons reading this blog for that matter are able to see the need for pre-planning so when we are gone, (expectedly or otherwise), our loved ones are not affected (financially) any more than they have to be. I have done what I need to do for my children and want to stress the importance of doing the same for yours.
