Pathetic
Wow. I'm not making judgements here. I just need to say it: this account of Hunter S. Thompson's suicide is the most pathetic thing I can recall reading, ever.
I've never purchased a Hunter S. Thompson book, and I'm not buying that line either. But that's just me. My wife would have me revived and then beat me to death for leaving her like that.
"It was just like Hunter wanted. He was in control here."
Anita Thompson also echoes the comments that have been made by Hunter Thompson's son and daughter-in-law: That her husband's suicide did not come from the bottom of the well, but was a gesture of strength and ultimate control made as his life was at a high-water mark.
"This is a triumph of his, not a desperate, tragic failure," Anita Thompson said by phone."

And I'm not buying one, either. I heard on the radio (Rush's show, I believe) that Thompson's grandson and other family members were in the house when he blew his brains out. He was talking to his wife on the telephone when he put down the phone, and pulled the trigger.
I don't see that as "control." Rather, it's selfishness and self-centeredness to the "nth" degree.
