Does anyone know why Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide?

  1. I was just wondering if anyone had any solid reasons as to why he took his own life. I must say I was truly shocked to hear about it. He was a great journalist.
     
  2. my guess is because he didn't want to live anymore.

    jk....sorry I couldn't resist, no disrespect intended
     
  3. I read that his family kinda saw it coming cause his heath had been declining for the last 10 years and he didn't want to be old, sick, and senile.
     
  4. I read that he wanted to go out at the "hieght of his career".
     
  5. He died in a car crash and it wasn't his fault so I dont know how someone would get that opinion, though anything is possible
     

  6. no disrespect but thats pretty fucking dumb what you just said. Earnhardt didn't kill himself he was hit from behind and ran into a wall.
     
  7. what do Dale Earnhardt and Pink Floyd have in common.....there last hit was "the wall"



    ha...



    I agree with william, I read somewhere one of his realitives said he wouldnt have wanted to die in a bed on a respirator.


    R.I.P. Hunter S. Thompson
     
  8. My personal beleieves is that he knew he lived his life the best possible way he could. He is a genius imo. I believe he did it because he knew it was his time to go.
     
  9. my personal opinion was that his brain was jus totally fried n he was probably suffering from delusions n shit, if u've ever seen interviews with him he actually acts like he does in fear and loathing, all tweaking out n shit, so it wouldnt suprise me if he was jus tired of being insane


    he's one of my hero's for wat he's done in his life n his genius ideas n writings, so i'll miss his work dearly, me n him r the same kind of people, push shit to the edge at all times haha. hopefully i end up even half as genius as he was
     
  10. [quote name='told']pretty Ballsey comparing your self to the great hunter..QUOTE]



    i aint comparin myself, i'm jus sayin that mine n his preference for doin mass amounts of drugs at the same time r similar, n actually if u ever see a picture of him when he was in highschool, me n him look quite similar to, but i know i couldnt match his journalistic talents. n wouldnt want to either
     
  11. Some Pussy Shit Takin Your Life Like That
     

  12. I kinda disagree, I would imagine that pullin the trigger was the hardest thing hes ever done.

    RIP Dr Gonzo.
    Down Bronco, He's Mine!
     
  13. He did it with a 10 year old in the house....
     
  14. I would love to read the toxicology report.
     
  15. I don't think I wanna live in a world that's too much for Hunter S. Thompson to handle...
     
  16. id agree with that
     
  17. ya, lol
     
  18. Hey,

    I'm sorry but could someone fill me on who Hunter S. Thompson is? Just doesn't ring a bell at the moment. Thanx.

  19. *slap*

    He wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, among other articles. Some of which were later turned into movies.
     
  20. ummm.....no, he shot himself. Hunter S. Thompson is a crazy motherfucker. Ever see him on the Conan O'Brian show? He starts shooting at a stuffed bear and he yells,"Die you dirty animal!" Then he throws a grenade at it. Crazy crazy man.
