Chez Pazienza died alone in his car outside his residence this weekend, smoking heroin.

I have the same feeling I had when I found out Kurt Cobain blew his head off with a 20-gauge shotgun (with high amounts of heroin in his system) back in 1994. I was about to turn 13 when Kurt snuffed it, and it broke my heart.

Chez Pazienza broke my heart.

No matter what the specific circumstances of his death were, he died of depression. It’s the cruellest disease I know of. I never got to know Chez, but I know he was hurting.
