Woah

Director of one of my favourite films; True Romance.

I wonder what was wrong with him? Why he did it?

Scott McKenzie, singer of flower power pop, dies aged 73

Two Scotts die on the same day.

You know I used to ask that question to myself all the time, why did they do it,my first thought was a terminal illness they were severely upset about,or a major breakup with a partner,severe physical pain they couldn't tolerate, these reasons I wondered first.

But in seeing most of these reasons come to pass with multiple individuals, and many I knew in passing or were more familiar with,you never really know,because it may have been building in them, and they thought about it and visualized it,you would never expect some people you know and have talked with to be suicidal, it's a hard thing to understand the why of it,and their final decision and what was the absolute final thing that brought them to do it in their mind

He was 68 as well Rick, seems unusual for someone of that age to commit suicide...unless it's more common than I think.

Your right most seem to be younger,maybe they will tell his reason.

I read somewhere that he had terminal brain cancer that was untreatable. Not sure if that is true though. It might explain things though. I you are in pain and going to die and have no other way to end the pain it might be the way out. Like I said though I am not sure if this is true.
