He may well have been controversial but there's no doubt he placed his thumb print on the history of the world.

Well I guess its sad for his family, as is every death, but it really makes no difference to me.

He was on celebrity rehab, they stated on that he'd die soon if he didn't kick his alcohol addiction.

Not exactly an unexpected death. He was no angel either so I won't be shedding a tear. Sure it sucks that he took one hell of a beating, but that doesn't excuse the things he's done before and after.
