I feel compassion for his family. Not the idiot who fell off a building because he couldn’t handle his big boy drugs.

So you don't consider any mitigating circumstances AT ALL?

It's clear to you that that he had complete control over his actions?

You don't think rising to huge fame when he was 16 had any impact on his ability to reason?

The bloke made his ex get an abortion then harassed her to the point she has to seek legal solutions. Then cheated on his girlfriend with girls he paid for sex. Was pretty much a deadbeat dad to the kid he had with Cheryl.

And everyone is supposed to treat him like a sweet innocent man now because he got himself killed? Go out

170,790 people die every day

365 days per year

Their your words. No one has mentioned that he is innocent. I would like to think those who were closest to him he knew him best, their words speak volumes.

Regardless of any of that, it's a loss of life.

I won't change your opinion so I will leave it there.

Facepalm!!

We are not saying he was all sweet and innocent by a long chalk. Not at all? He was extremely flawed, damaged. As Thomas said, its empathetic to feel sorrow at his death. For him and his family etc alike.

Not particularly. He wanted the fame don’t he? He wasn’t even a good singer. Hence why he was dropped.

He was clinging to fame so desperately.

It’s tragic what happened to him but that’s as far as my compassion goes. Not gonna be a weirdo and cry over him dying.

Do you know him personally???...or are you making these judgements on what you have read?

Pfffft. Utter Garbage. He was a great singer. Millions would disagree with you. Not that you're not entitled to your opinion of course.

I wouldn't even bother Kate.

They're entitled to their opinion.

We're going around in circles
Thankfully, it's a minority opinion.

It's the same demographic who contribute to the dark side of social media. Free to say what they like behind a computer with very little understanding of human psychology. Like I said previous, a lack of emotional intelligence

this is getting ghoulish now, if they have pictures of him in his last hour there must be footage of him on the balcony or CCTV hopefully for his familys sake they will be able to verify whether he jumped or fell ..I feel for his family I dont think we need all this kind of reporting?

From what I’ve seen and heard from him. His solo music was dire and his record company agreed

I have to say again to anyone who has lost someone to addiction this is just clearly untrue. My own mum had a thriving career, we were financially very comfortable, plenty of friends etc. at age 47, by 55 she was in a council flat suffering daily panic attacks and drinking every night, and by 58 she was dead of multiple organ failure caused by alcohol and prescription painkillers.

It's not just a sad affliction for poor people "and those who are doing well won't be affected". No amount of money will fix your mental health. Not a £100 therapy session and not a £billion fortune.

A lot of very rich celebrities have serious mental health issues. We should know by now that material wealth and opportunity has absolutely nothing to do with it.

There are photos of him on the ground
dead.

Very good post

There are a lot of 'functioning' addicts. Can keep down a job, pay the bills, have friends, BUT still have bad addiction.

awful

Now that is a crazy coincidence !!

lol

To put it in context
.
There wasn't photos. It was one photo showing his arm and hip, the rest of the body was blurred out.it was released by TMZ who have since taken it down as they got backlash

Understandable as disgusting thing to do

Omg. I'm devastated. Liam Payne has died. (One Direction singer)
 

Reactions to the death of a celebrity is a complex matter



I never really cared for Liam .. or his solo music ( two decent songs and one of those was a duet the other a collaboration)

Never really cared much for Zayn but he has done some fantastic songs ..


Now Harry Styles’s personality always appealed to me plus he’s done loads of great songs - I would be really disappointed if something untoward happened to him

Is it just me or is a third floor room not that high, it seems like there could be a decent chance of surviving that depending how you fall

you have just written a load of stuff not related in any way to my post. People don't seem to be very comfortable acknowledging the lives that addicts destroy, by their own choices, the families they destroy. Why not a little more about that?

I state again, he had every advantage. He could go to rehab, get the best help, much more than 99% of other addicts. He, by his own choices, took a path that led to his death, no-one else. If that evokes sympathy in some people fair enough, but don't tell me i am heartless or whatever for my stance, because it's just not true

BOTS I've just outlined in that post that my own mother died as a result of addiction when I was in my late 20's so with all due respect (which is zero), you can take your musings on "people not acknowledging the lives that addicts destroy", roll them up and fck yourself sideways with them. Take a break and take a look at yourself.

Yeah, sounds like he landed head first though

I keep thinking about how Cheryl has to explain to a 7 year old where his dad is

Head injuries …
