He died less horrible than his fathers death. He drank until drunk then set his sofa on fire from a lit cigarette!

I understand he died awhile back. Msn had this as the lead article on their website and it is in lone with what appears on the cover of tabloids at the supermarket. Yesterday their lead was some 80 year old woman who was dissed in her obituary because she’d abandoned her kids decades earlier.

I misread “lied” for “died” in the headline otherwise I would not have posted it. I missed that he died last November.

Excessive drinking can result in a form of dementia.

Cassidy might have been in a mental blur a lot of the time without having Alzheimer's or another standard form of dementia.

did not have dementia, as he claimed before he died, and lied about giving up drinking,

Pretty creative, if you ask me.

I may have to try that one next time I'm drunk.

“The fact is, I lied about my drinking,” he added. “The

There is also “pseudo-dementia”, which can have all the hallmarks of early-onset Alzheimer’s or another spectrum of dementia but is brought on by extreme emotional stress.

That was my thought exactly, too. BBell shouldn’t feel badly, because I, as a longtime fan, want to know about the documentary. But on a higher level, it also touches upon alcoholism, which at one time or another may have impacted a loved one.

And one more thought...it saddens me that he was such a lost and tortured soul. I hope he made peace in his final moments with the King of Kings, who would have given him true peace and joy.

Alcoholism is suicide on the installment plan. It is a spiritual malady that inevitably involves some degree of self-loathing that invites self-destructive behavior. If you have a problem, or think you have a problem....seek help.

Recently we had an incident here where a car crashed through the front door of a hair salon, sending nine people to the hospital. The most severely injured, a 15-year old high-school student, lost her leg.

The driver had a number of prior DUI’s on his record. But at the time of this incident he was not drunk. Medical evidence was he had a seizure.

Long-term alcohol abuse can cause seizures, but since that’s not a definitive link the incident can’t be linked to his drinking. So no charges will be filed.
