I don't know who he was and I don't follow celebrity gossip.

However, I saw the headline and clicked on the story to find out how he died (another celebrity suicide?) and I found this:

"Jackson was found “unresponsive in a sober living home”.

Sober living home?

Was he an alcoholic at age 20?

Hollywood is an evil place for a child to grow up in.

Sober isn’t just about alcohol nowadays.

I grew up in Hollywood’s “shadow” as neither of my parents were involved in the entertainment industry and actually Hollywood and the surrounding areas are a pretty cool place to grow up. I had friends whose parents were costume designers and things, so stuff like Halloween was always fun. A lot of actors who make it big are not Hollywood natives.

Same here. I am not even feeling sufficiently compelled to Google him or those movies/shows.

“Sober living home?

Was he an alcoholic at age 20? “

Sounds like a PC term for a drunk tank.

That may explain the heavy drinking at such a young age and the need for a sober living home.

I found this:

Yep, that was what I was thinking of, I hadn’t realized Nick cut ties with Schneider, but there’ve been stories about him for years.

Sucker bet, since iCarly was all about children in adult sexual situations and eventually the network got too many complaints and fired the writer.
