    Two minutes after his death, his manager called with news of his "big break." It would have been the role of a lifetime.
    The SUNSHINE CAB crew had a party planned with a cake and everything. :salute:

    strange that he died from drugs that he himself didn't take.

    Wasn't he also into having unnecessary, or unneeded surgery for a period of time as well?

    Then Jeff achieved more than any man could hope for. It's all downhill after boning Marilu anyway. :salute:

    Oh, shit, didn't know that about the Dr. Franklin guy.

    Aortic dissection, same thing that killed John Ritter. :(

    B5 dead include Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar), Richard Biggs (Dr. Franklin) and Tim Choate (Zathras), and now Zack.

    And Andrea Thompson's career, of course.

    Heart related and he looked like he was healthy. Andrea Thompson had a acting career?

    Tragic in an abstract sense, but this is what happens with drug addicts and alcoholics. They die. No reason to feel sorry for him. He had people trying to help him for decades get off the drugs/booze, and he chose the path of self-destruction. He lived the life he chose, and he came to the predictable end. :shrug:

    He was just about exactly twice the age as the dude who lived across the street from me...he died at 30 from a heroin overdose recently. At least Jeff had a long life with a few second chances.

    And my neighbor never boned Marilu Henner. :storm:
