He was a drug addict, not an alcoholic. He was on tons of pills because of his health.
"Thompson died at his fortified compound in Woody Creek, Colorado, at 5:42 pm on February 20, 2005 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was 67 years old.
Thompson's son (Juan), daughter-in-law (Jennifer Winkel Thompson), and grandson (Will Thompson) were visiting for the weekend at the time of his suicide. Will and Jennifer were in the adjacent room when they heard the gunshot. They reported to the press that they do not believe his suicide was out of desperation, but was a well thought out act resulting from Thompson's many painful medical conditions.2 Thompson's wife, Anita, who was at the gym at the time of her husband's death, was on the phone with Thompson when he ended his life."
This is unreal, all you Freepers defending Clintons Arkancide holocaust like it is all BS. "Oh he drank and that is why Brits son killed himself".. Oh, well maybe Budweiser should put warnings on its cans "Consumption may cause suicide".
Why are you so accepting of what the family says about Thompson's suicide but cannot accept that Sandy Hume left a suicide note blaming his alcoholism.
Also another name...Ernest Hemingway.
