Many years ago I had a friend who had built a successful business. He was a lean, seemingly very fit fellow, full of life and vitality. I walked into his office one day to see him brazenly start snorting a line of cocaine. I think he did it to shock me as I am totally against illegal drugs and he knew it. I was shocked, so he accomplished that mission anyway.
He also shocked his family and friends a few months later when at age 53 he suddenly died of a heart attack while eating lunch. I always figured it was related to his drug use. Yes, sad and totally unnecessary IMO. He broke his family's hearts. What a waste.
