Poor little dude led a very troubled life , constantly hounded by the media over substance abuse and domestic problems . Only a matter of time till the rumour mill cranks up in the papers . So many entertainers , muso's and comedians lead very sad lives .

Awww damn now I feel bad for finding that ironic.

It's like everyone in the cast of Diff'rent Strokes were messed up.
