"I want a six-foot tombstone, two feet thick With the words engraved "I tried to tell you all I was sick" …but I’m not sure he was sick. It says he was apparently…. beaten to death?
Sounds like he was assaulted outside his hotel room, was admitted to the hospital, was released, developed breathing issues that was then diagnosed as walking pneumonia.
I think there’s some chronic drug use issues, which may play in to why he was assaulted…but people are saying the walking pneumonia may have been around way longer.
Yeah, sounds like... I was just trying to say that he didn't get beaten to death. The assault might have contributed over time, but it wasn't like he was pummelled to death.
the weird thing is, he was discharged from the hospital, then arrested for trying to get back in the hospital because he didn’t want to leave, because he swore he wasn’t healthy. There's more than one hospital in the SLC area, not sure why he demanded to go back to the same one.
