What a shock. Some piece of shit raised by another piece of shit died of an overdose. Good riddance. Hopefully his awful father will be so stricken with grief he kills himself.

LOL, good for him. He died doing what he loved. As to all the boo-hooing and sympathy for "those left behind", I am sure his millionaire family just pocketed a cool few moremillion on the life insurance policy, so good for them too! Everybody wins! oh, sorry, I mean "booo-hooo hoo, I have so much overflowing love for wealthy strangers!" :(

"In 1999, Scott Sterling, then 19, was arrested for shooting his friend with a shotgun. Beverly Hills police said Philip Scheid was shot in the legs during an argument at Donald Sterling's mansion. Scheid said he was shot from behind while running away. Sterling said he fired in self-defense after Scheid approached him with a knife. The county district attorney's office declined to file criminal charges, citing credibility problems with the victim. Scott Sterling's father is a multimillionaire, a philanthropist and owner of a basketball team"- ESPN  Helps to have a multimillionaire dad if you want to act like a spoiled brat/criminal and get away with it.  http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/1/2/3827396/donald-sterling-son-clippers-shooting-jail
