FULL TITLE: Son, 61, of billionaire Little Caesars pizza founder found dead surrounded by drugs in Michigan hotel room

The son of the billionaire Little Caesars founder and owner of both the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Tigers, has been found dead surrounded by drugs in a hotel room.

Ronald Ilitch, 61, was found dead on the floor of his Marriott Hotel room in Troy, Michigan, on Friday afternoon, MLive.com reports.

A female acquaintance had called 911 at about 2.12pm to report that Ilitch wasn't breathing, and when emergency crews arrived, they found him face-up on the floor.

A police report states that resuscitation efforts would have been futile.

Yep
Wealth come upon with earning it is a curse
Lottery winners mostly all suffer the same fate
Booze drugs gambling fake friends
Broke again in a few years
The pleasures of this world are a trap. A prison
Only inner peace should be sought. And it’s free

I can never really understand how somebody with so much opportunity can waste their life like that.

That's because you (and I) never had that much opportunity. And who knows how toxic the family environment was with a wildly successful father.

For some reason there's a quote from the philosopher Kierkegaard that sticks in my memory, which goes something like,

"Boredom is having too many choices."

Remind me to make a crappy remark when one of your family members passes away.

Little "Attended" or "Seeing" Arena would be more fitting...

Not only crap pizza, but crap teams(Red Wings/Pistons)are keeping patrons away. Of course someone had the bright idea to put in bright red seats that show that fact...in true color.

Heck, I've heard they(at least for the pistons)are putting seat covers on the lower bowl seats so the abysmal attendance is not so pronounce.

...what's next, cardboard cut-outs/blow-up dolls/holograms?

The water is important but flower is not flower. NE pizza crust is made with high gluten flower. Many places outside of the NE use all-purpose flower. Big difference. Also the temperature the pie is cooked at is important as is the surface it’s cooked on.

I went to college with a guy whose family owned 2 pizza joints in NY who told me this when we were complaining about the pizza we were able to get in near school.

Execute the drug dealers, from street level to kingpin. No plea bargains, no deals

Does that include medical and psychiatric professionals who prescribe legal poisons that lead to addiction? Does that include pharmaceutical companies that glamorized their poisons and gave those prescribing them financial incentives to do so?

I see where I went wrong.

Beer is something I could never stand. Might as well be listerine as far as taste goes.

A few mornings back, I had a left over boli for breakfast and it was so good.

A long time ago for a brief period of time I knew one of the Ilitch daughters through little league hockey. My lasting impression of the family was that they made their children work and handed them nothing.

I’m so sorry for his mother and father. Horrible grief.

There are people that will wallow in drugs no matter how much help and opportunity you give them.

I think the water is a factor in the pizza dough, in bagels, and the bread used for subs/heroes/hoagies/grinders. Tap water varies widely in mineral content, which can affect taste and consistency.
