I had forgotten his kids were there. What a horrific fucking nightmare to wake up to.

It is still such a sad death but it also makes me angry when someone is gone because of someone else’s issues. I saw a doc that was very sympathetic to his wife and I know she had issues but honestly I cannot forgive her. She was a coward for what she did.

Did the doc disclose her issues beyond addiction

makes me sad to think where he could be today, probably some acclaimed premium cable show

[bttrsondaughter]

i can imagine him on Veep being the bane of Selina's existence

[josiefier]

That would have been glorious

[nutmegdealer]

that's so sad i didn't realise he was shot by his wife!
I always thought it was a heart attack for some bizarre reason?

His character’s death on NewsRadio was heart attack, so that might be why!
