You could be right. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was the bedroom door.

I wouldn't blame the wife even if she said something that triggered him to do the act. We all have arguments or get upset with loved ones at some time or another. Not saying that's what happened. But it's also possible she was unhappy with how he was acting, what he was saying, or the fact that he was clearly doped up.

Regardless, Chris is a big boy, and under the influence or not, he alone took an action that ended his life. We'll never know exactly what happened that night, so Chris' death will always have a fog of uncertainty around it. There's more mystery surrounding Chris' death than Kurt Cobain's, so I suspect the theories will only continue to grow over the years.

I must say, however, I do believe Chris was a happily married man and that his family was everything to him. I don't buy some of the terrible rumors and stories you see floating around on the internet. If I blame anything, it's a doctor prescribing such medication to a former alcohol and prescription drug abuser.

I was disappointed when it was confirmed to be suicide.
I would like to think he was not in a "sound state of mind" and something was clouding his judgment but in the end it does not matter. The result is the same.

That's actually not true. It's a rarely exercised loophole that if you're high at the time of suicide you get to come back in 4 years if you want.

Ed in London tonight, taken from some dude on the pit
Eddie About Chris in London 1 show tonight...:
: " I will love him forever"


Sometimes it's hard to concentrate these days. I was thinking about the history of this building and the Bowie history. So I started to think about that and my mind began to wander. It's not a good...
So I haven't really been talking about some things and I kind of... now it feels like it's conspicuous because I lost a really close friend of mine, somebody who...(applause)
I'll say this too, I grew up as 4 boys, 4 brothers and I lost my brother 2 years ago tragically like that in an accident and after that and losing a few other people, I'm not good at it, meaning I'm not...I have not been willing to accept the reality and that's just how I'm dealing with it (applause starts)
no, no, no, no
So I want to be there for the family, be there for the community, be there for my brothers in my band, certainly the brothers in his band. But these things will take time but my friend is going to be gone forever and I will just have to...
These things take time and I just want to send this out to everyone who was affected by it and they all back home and here appreciate it so deeply the support and the good thoughts of a man who was a ... you know he wasn't just a friend he was someone I looked up to like my older brother.
About two days after the news, I think it was the second night we were sleeping in this little cabin near the water, a place he would've loved. And all these memories started coming in about 1:30am like woke me up. Like big memories, memories I would think about all the time. Like the memories were big muscles.
And then I couldn't stop the memories. And trying to sleep it was like if the neighbours had the music playing and you couldn't stop it. But then it was fine because then it got into little memories. It just kept going and going and going. And I realised how lucky I was to have hours worth of...you know if each of these memories was quick and I had hours of them. How fortunate was I?! And I didn't want to be sad, wanted to be grateful not sad. I'm still thinking about those memories and I will live with those memories in my heart and I will...love him forever

Ed's family relations are all wonky anyway. His uncle was probably really his brother
