Drugs and jacuzzis don't mix apparently.

Damn shame. He had one hell of a struggle with drugs and it sure showed on him.

Well he apparently came home in the late morning after playing pickle ball for a couple of hours. There were no immediate signs of intoxicants...but it is, of course, possible they were involved.

My money, however, is on that thing that we're never allowed to mention or even ask about. He did post to his social media a picture of himself in a t-shirt that said, "Could I Be Anymore Vaccinated," so it's a pretty safe bet the dude had the shot.

Damn shame. He was one of the best comedic talents that never used the mean, vulgar, or political humor "easy buttons" that has pretty much ruined comedy. Not many can make a scene funny by how they react, and he was an absolute master.

His standout movies to me are "The Whole Nine Yards" and it's sequel "The Whole Ten Yards", but the one I've always liked the best was "Fools Rush In".

Addiction is tough.. he spent around $10M on rehab and said that alcohol would kill him.

I think it was the 2-hour pickleball session right before the jacuzzi that got him. Stay away from that pickleball!

This is why I avoid exercise and hard work, I hear it will kill you. The secret to long life, be lazy as hell. :s0140:

My motto on exercise has always been "No pain, no pain".

He was wearing a good disguise, including a fat suit in his last public photo.

This will probably sound weird, but I've never seen a single episode of Friends, to the best of my recollection. So I'm not real familiar with his work. That said, sounds like the fellow had some serious addiction issues, which ain't easy on anyone. Neither is losing a family member or friend; here's the folks that were in his life find peace.
