[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of thoughts, the first being that I loved his roles and he seemed like a nice man and seemed like he loved his family and his death , so young, is a tragedy.

I also heard that the reason his cancer treatments were not covered was because he chose alternative therapies as opposed to traditional western medicine, therefore, insurance did not cover them. They were also, let’s face it, largely ineffective. I wish for his kids sakes that he had elected for traditional therapies. Not just for perhaps prolonging his life (although stage 3 colon cancer does not have a promising prognosis even with aggressive therapy), but so that his medical bills would not have drowned his family.

Also, the verbiage on his go fund me about “wanting the kids to stay in the home they know” and “continue their education in the environment they know” sounds to me like they are living somewhere that could be downsized, and are not receiving free public education. I have no interest in go fund mes for people to keep 6 children in private school , if they are in private school. Obviously his family can have a go fund me if they want and obviously lots of people wanted to donate. That’s fine. I just find it predatory. Not to mention raising the minimum donation from 1 to 5 dollars? They are richer than the vast majority of the people donating to them. And now they have an additional 2 million dollars. And that’s wonderful for his children because they didn’t ask for any of this. But it is not a good look, to be a former A list celebrity’s wife, asking for millions in handouts after the celebrity spouse dies, after he spent the savings on alternative therapies. Oh; and upping the minimum donation!!![/quote]
