What the fvck man? That guy made me laugh so many times. I don't want to sound selfish, but it almost pisses me off that someone like that would kill themselves.

RIP Dr. Gonzo.

Big shame ... must have read Fear & loathing half a dozen times - that desert scene reminds me of a few club experimentation experiences that went wrong !

**vibe** · February 21, 2005, 06:50:28 PM

Your right.

Man, I still cannot understand how someone could live the life that he did, live to be as old as he did, then just realize it's not worth it one day. Seems so...counterproductive.

The Great Doctor went out in style.
We'll miss Your wisdom.

This is what happens when you lose all hope. A sad ending to such an interesting legacy. RIP

yea i read the article, rest in peace hunter.
yea it was suicide because of his medical history. Very interseting guy, its a shame that he did away with himself, but i guess we all have reasons for the things we do. It was no accident that he shot himself as far as the stories are concerned, he accidentally shot his assistant once chasing a bear off his property. That movie with johnny dep is hilarious.
