So sad with the funeral today and at 31 years of age. To those who may say he brought it upon himself - wrong! Vulnerable people or those with mental illness take drugs and then they can't stop or are preyed upon. Those who have been convicted like all drug dealers should face murder charges or even better a firing squad!

RIP to a very talented young man and very sad.

Mental illness is a horrible, horrible condition. The thought of being normal young person (and I do not mean that in a defamatory way) and then becoming a pop or musical idol and thrown into the media circus, at the front of the media etc and public attention thrust upon that individual, must be totally alien to him from where he was.

Sometimes, what these people go through when fame is thrust upon them is absolutely incomprehensible.

So RIP fella and I hope that your death is not in vain. Look at all the young people who have passed on because of fame, fame they were not ready for????I will not put a list on here but the list will be longer than I would imagine.

Nobody says Im going to become a drug addict so that I can really disappoint everyone and die before I reach 20 (as many do). Its awful. I know what its like to give up on life and to be low level operative. Trying to fill big gaping holes is what we do, and often not very well. Not feeling normal is a curse. To not be able to really enjoy anything even if others think its great, is not a great place to be. Youre just counting time.

A Baggie apparently? Read that Adrian Chiles had a Baggie jacket at the funeral.
