"Unfortunately Tom's body suffered from many serious ailments including emphysema, knee problems and most significantly a fractured hip," I'd say most significantly drug addiction.
#2. To: misterwhite (#1) I'd say most significantly drug addiction. Whether addiction or not, it was *prescription* drugs that were involved. Maybe they should be outlawed. Regardless, I like Tom Petty. Made a number of good songs.
#3. To: Pinguinite (#2) Whether addiction or not, it was *prescription* drugs that were involved. For Tom Petty's family to declare "accidental," is a complete turn-about of personal responsibility. He knew and his family knew the risks of the narcotics he took; and perhaps it was on a daily basis. Totally disagree with you about your attempt of product differentiation concerning "prescription" vs. non-prescription narcotics. The signature of responsibility is the individual, his or herself.

He knew and his family knew the risks of the narcotics he took; and perhaps it was on a daily basis. If you read the article, his hip problem had progressed to a very painful full break. Apparently, he was trying to kill the intense pain. This isn't a terribly unusual story of overdosing with legal meds due to intense pain. I feel kinda sorry for him. Clearly, his body was just falling apart in a number of ways.
#12. To: Tooconservative (#6) This isn't a terribly unusual story of overdosing with legal meds due to intense pain. I feel kinda sorry for him. I don't give a shit if the narcotics were prescribed by a medically authorized physician or the local street corner dealer. The personal responsibility for taking the shit falls on Tom Petty. And LQQKY here: he dead man acting irresponsibly to himself.

I have a little more sympathy for people suffering general failure and intense pain day-to-day. Sometimes their judgment is impaired by taking these painkillers and other drugs. And lots of people die everyday from overdoses very similar to this one.

Next you will advocating the US Government to extract my hard earned dollars in the form of "voluntary contributions" towards the same aim. It is called socialism that you advocate. You have no sympathy for those that work hard, earnestly and diligently towards ideal efforts in life that pursue objectives that benefit just about everyone. And, yeah ... I don't give a shit about irresponsible behaviour.
#17. To: buckeroo (#16) A little more sympathy? Next you will advocating the US Government to extract my hard earned dollars in the form of "voluntary contributions" towards the same aim. You should calm down. I was talking about Tom Petty and his regrettable but not uncommon overdose on opiates.
#18. To: Tooconservative (#17) I was talking about Tom Petty and his regrettable but not uncommon overdose on opiates. Then you admit, Petty committed suicide. Isn't that a irresponsible act toward oneself whether planned or otherwise?
