Yes that’s kind of what I was thinking. It wasn’t ACTUAL suicide but he had been flirting with danger for quite awhile. He seemed to have given up on the last night.
It was interesting thinking on how anybody looking at the events of his life (like maybe watching Ron's E True Hollywood Story in the 90s in this universe) would see a guy who seemed very different from the real guy. The Carson appearance, the wedding, quitting the show, the drugs, his castmates hating him, the expensive house, the overnight success. He'd seem like much more of an asshole than he actually was--and his dying of an OD wouldn't seem like a surprise or even much of a tragedy.
That is a really insightful comment. I have met people like this who start behaving like assholes but are actually good people underneath their demons. He didn’t seem to realise how he was affecting people in the end. His cast mates for example.
Sorry Magpie I quoted you incorrectly. I am new here and I stuffed up the formatting.
Anyway great comment!
