RIP 2011

Just in case, did not mean to imply that anybody else's empathy is feigned. Just that mine would be.

I'd only read a couple stories but they said it was the people with him who said he'd had a fair amount to drink before leaving (three shots, three beers). If that turns out to be incorrect then that reason for not feeling empathy will be gone. But I don't have much issue with playing the odds on alcohol having been involved in a fatal solo car crash on the way home from a bar at closing time.

But if I were a more public figure like Roger Ebert I'd probably pretend to hold off on jumping to conclusions.

Looks like the odds were born out. At least he didn't kill any completely innocent bystanders on his way out.
