I think that the truth of what rings through all his writing is that he meant what he said. If that is entertainment to you, well, that's OK. If you think that it enlightened you, well, that's even better. If you wonder if he's gone to Heaven or Hell —rest assured he will check out them both, find out which one Richard Milhous Nixon went to —and go there. He could never stand being bored. But there must be Football too —and Peacocks..."

They say that he did four days before his suicide that stated
"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt."
There are many people who believe that he was murdered due to some of the things he was researching politically at the time. Hunter wasn't the type for suicide, and he was talking on the phone with his wife when it happened and he was just having a regular conversation with her about how they should write together again soon. I don't believe this man whom loved his family very much would do this over the phone with his wife.
I still have more research to do.

first off for everyone reading this Hunter S. Thompson is a very influencial journalist he created a style of journalism called GONZO, basically wrapped in a nutshell its reporting things while extremely high on as many drugs as possible... I absolutely did not know he died I'm very saddened I am a huge fan of his, I have a recording of him on conan o'brien and he is just a strange person... he looks like he either is still on drugs or is just really messed up from all the drugs he did when he was younger... I can see him prolly getting really wasted cause I know he still is a heavy drinker, and just thinking that his life is worthless although it wasn't, he's impacted a lot of people! but he could have just been high or drunk and decided it was time too go... either way RIP HST and for all of you that don't know him, Johnny Depp and Benicio Deltoro (sp) starred in a movie based on HST book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it will take a couple of times watching it and you definetly have to pay attention if you want to learn what he was all about, but he was a great man... and the movie is awesome! Johnny Depp actually moved into HST house for 3 or so months and lived in his basement to really understand what the man was like, and if you saw the real HST in some kind of video and then saw the movie, it's one of the best potrays of a real person I've ever seen... GOD BLESS YOU HST MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND CORRUPT THE UNDERWORLD FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!

Who is he, what did he do?
Leaving suicide notes is very bizarre though.
Why, when you're that selfish to take your own life would you be so courteous as to leave a little note explaining why?!

He went to his local library and got 3 books out on "How To Commit Suicide", the bugger never brought them back!
