Suspect

Wed, 2010-11-03 18:53

Latest report was that he died of a drug overdose, was an empty methadone bottle found next to his body in his hotel room.

Still doesn't change the fact he was a surfing legend.

I surfed with him at Tombies a few years back and he just put on a clinic for everyone. Another Hawaian waterman that will be missed.

Another celebrity succumbing

Another celebrity succumbing to the lure of drugs,

Way too young to die, and you have to feel for his family that are left to pick up the pieces.
