There isn't really much difference between the girl with the Paracetamol OD and George Best's drinking habits/addiction - one just tried to end her life quickly and George just did it publicly and over a much longer period of time. Both very tragic cases. Best was also taken in for assaulting his wife Alex. It isn't libelous to say he was a wife-beater and alcoholic - it was common knowledge and a reported fact also validated by his own admission. No-one deserves to die and in fact George Best has probably been dying for years. Some relatives of the girl are probably just as hurt, angry and upset as are George's relatives - any premature or futile death is a waste and most of the time that's what makes the ones left behind angry and hurt. In saying that, it kind of pissed me off that the media paid so much attention to Best's passing - finally speaking about him in the past before he actually died. Alcoholism or associated complications of alcoholism is fairly un-dignified at the best of times let alone having it paraded and analysed for all to see at a time when you should be left alone in peace to go.
