His take on Golf was one of the funniest stand up routines period.

Amazing that 2000 people are killed as side effects of a war in Gaza and most people don't notice, one bloke who makes a living making movies ends his own life and things go nuts.

Crazy world we live in.

I have no probs with the extent of coverage.

Now if it was say Paris Hilton getting this coverage it would be a different matter.

Id also argue the coverage of his death also benefits society in focusing on mental health, substance abuse and Parkinsons
