Now his mother is saying that the City of Toronto is going to pay for his funeral. Ummmmm.... no. The city pays for the funerals of itinerant RESIDENTS and he hasn't lived here for years.

I bet they do anyway, because he was 'famous'...

The city says no but if they were, they couldn't tell us. The funeral home isn't saying. There are rumours that it's being fronted by some of his "friends."

They definately shouldnt...

I've been following this a little bit, not because I was a Haim fan (I wasn't), but because i've been dealing with addiction to painkillers for a few years now.

Being clean has taught me one thing, that acts like this are just glorifying drug abuse. People want the city of toronto to reward him with a free funeral. Reward him for what? For destroying his own life? A life that was originally blessed with fame and fortune?

I also see a lot of, 'oh, he was an innocent victim of drug dealers' posts att he bottom of news articles. There are no innocent victims, we know drugs are wrong, we know they can kill us.

His struggle is no different than anyone elses. Over two years later, and i'd still love to pop an oxy and 'relax', but I know where it got me before. My decisions were my own, and I pay for the consequences of those decisions every day. Death is a consequence, and no one else, a city or a person, should have to pay for those consequences.

In this case they determined that he went the same way as Brittany Murphy though, didn't they? An OD of over the counter and off the shelf meds? I haven't been following it, except for hearing the statement by his mother that Toronto would be footing the bill for his funeral in order to reward him for leaving here.

Naww, he was using forged scripts for Oxycontin, and apparently a lot of it.

His ex said, at one point, he was up to 50 oxycontin a day. I cant even imagine, considering the 6-7 40/mg pills a day I used to use was a lot.
