    According to an article I just read his marriage broke up and he was forced to put his house up for sale, both of which devastated him.

    I freaking knew it had to be woman-related. Few years ago I heard Keith Flint met and married this japanese woman. She's hot and he gushed about how, at the time, she "saved him" from all the drugs and constant boozing he was into. Soon as you hear that "she saved me" type vibe from a man, you know this shit is not going to end well...

    That comedown when she, your "saviour" and shit, inevitably bails on you is brutal. Naturally she's also taking the house and more than half your shit at the same time, because fuck you. So good luck staying afloat through that.

    Liam Howlett must be livid at the moment. Hope he channels the anger into more music, perhaps under pseudonim, instead of just set fire to the whole thing and call it quits.

    it has nothing to do with conspiracy it is just a fact
    i dunno why but i think it has something to do with drug abuse it triggers depressions psychosis and suicidal thoughts or maybe the pressure of certain labels managers or something else in the music industry

    it is definitely not random

    As i have read, the most problems of this accident were his ex wife Mayumi Kay (divorced) and his house he loved (selling, because of her again), as well as drugs he began to use because of this situation. Is that true?

    Feel really sorry for him. Feels to me like more and more artists have problems that they can't solve in time, and they suffer in silence until it's too late.

    Ya'll trying to tell me who to spend my mornings mourning?

    While myself, and none of my friends worked in their 'camp', I did cross paths with them on the European festival circuit over the years... a more down to Earth camp you would not meet. I suggest you and your camp look at yourselves... ponder who will mourn Ya'll on a soon to come morning.

    DON'T SPEAK ILL OF THE DEAD <--- surely your mamas taught you that... chUmP???

    Y'all make it seem like he was broken by the breakup, it seems pretty well documented that when he felt he reached a certain point he always planned on this sort of end. He ran his fastest time supposedly in a local run the day before, not exactly easy to do if you were in some sort of binge.

    You mean he didn't like growing old? I know I don't. It sucks watching yourself rot, getting sick an all that shite. He was just a couple of months older than me, and in much better shape. I've been always suffering from mild depression, but since heart surgery I became much more depressed... :( so I can understand if that's the cause for his suicide. But it's probably multiple things... maybe, you know, shit just piled up too much for him to cope with. :(

    Ok lemme put it another way, I knew him, just because he's nice to fans ok good on him, to the people he worked with and those on the inner Circle he was condescending aggressive and a complete cunt most of the time except to Liam of course. You mourne as you like but I'm not gonna shed one tear for someone who I never really liked in life let alone death.

    My mom taught many things one of which was "never shed one tear for someone in death that showed you zero repect in life"

    also. not to call people names just because you don't agree with them.

    lastly when I die there will be a party those that don't like me won't come ill be dead then so I ain't gonna worry who comes. but im pretty sure a few will attend.

    the show must go on

    I like you suffer from depression it is what it is. I Also like you work in the production Industry and I agree apparently my "work-face" tends to make people think I'm pissed off when all I'm doing is concentrating trying to be perfect and make the best show possible. and in the end, it is. I've been called a cunt many times this I can deal with but being a cunt for no reason that's something else. over the span of 3 tours and 30 some shows I've been at nothing ever changed with him always the same so I doubt it was a bad day, I stayed out of his way didn't even speak to him after a while because I got tired of being told to fuck off. And I observed how he treated others in the band so I ain't alone in this observation.

    I have been doing what I do for 30 years professionally in the Industry I know the ins and out, I know what we do isn't as glamorous as most think it is. I also know what it's like to be cooped up in a tour bus for months at a time ( i still love touring) and in all this time there has only been one person that's been completely rude to me. so I totally agree with you but in these cases, I wasn't working for the band just hanging out with my mates that are in the Band & Crew! so. this wasn't a one-time thing and it isn't just me that thinks this.

    it sucks when anyone takes their own life but I cant moun the loss for someone like him if i did id just be faking it. and that i cant do.
