Considering the ANS connection, it wouldn't be that difficult. This story has changed so much, however, that for all we know he could have choked on a gummy bear or been beaten up in a bar.
No matter what kind of person he was, I'll still feel sorry for him. After all, he was raised by ANS. The poor kid was probably lucky to have reached adulthood. :-(
True, and I agree that this is a sad, sad story and I feel very sorry for ANS.
