The celebrity spinner, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, died in August 2009 of an apparent drug overdose at the age of 36. The star -- who battled his own drug addictions and attempted suicide before getting sober more than 10 years ago -- survived a tragic plane crash last year that left him critically injured.

114The disease of addiction affects everyone in the addict life. The addict n recovery has a choice and knows there us a different way to live. Yet theminute they choose to use, they have been hijacked and force greater than themselves is at play. I speak from expereince......My mom died of her addiction too young and i was raised around that lifestyle.....drinking and drugs was the norm. I followed the addiction path and lived through it to know that if I had been in my right mind I would not choose to live that life. I have lost so many close people to this disease, that it has become a catalyst for postive change in my life. I am in a private Christian University today moving forward to make a positive contribution in the world WE ALL live in. RIP to anyone who has lost thier life to this horriable disease and I hope anyone struggling with addcition seeks help....because there is HOPE for us afterall

This thing sucks. I wrote this big thing with my views, and buttbook erased it. Thanks Buttbook!
Wishing death on people you don't agree with is so irresponsible, Mr Flanagan. People are people, and we all back ourselves in a corner sometimes. Egotism runs rampant amongst the rich drug heads, and it usually means death. No kid should use an entertainer as a role model, but they do generally because their parents let them down somehow. Good riddance? When one of these people go through a humbling experience and live to tell about it, then their true value can be seen. So how is it good riddance?
I can see when someone dies of natural causes on in a accident thats not their fault, but these scumbag drug addict's like Nate Dog and Snoop Dog (or is that Snoop S--t?) have alol that money and a choice, still do it on purpose by overdosing and other dumb s--t! I have no sympathy for any of these rapper's or any of the trash talkers that pick drugs to leave this earth. The sad part is: The poor kids that think this is who they want to be and what they want to do when they grow up?? Good riddence to bad rubbish!!
this is terrible,the death of celebs is so strange,there might be stories behind stories!!??
we gone miss you dude my your soul rest in peace.
my hubby died 8 days after his 40th birthday from the same thing that killed nate dogg CHF high blood pressure is a huge problem!
for every body who really think people like nate dogg and others died because of drug overdose... look again its a conspiracy theor.. the media is just the easy cover up.. be smart people..
Who?
