This story has captivated me all day. So sad. I hope they didn't meet with foul play, but it sounds terribly suspicious. I hope we get to find out soon.

I think while it's possibly a murder-suicide, it seems more likely to me that he died and she OD'd. Guess the tox screens will tell the story.

I have always been impressed that his privacy was maintained for so long. Relationships like this always make me question the other famous people that protest that they just want privacy and never get it in the 10th magazine/newspaper article that month....

May he rest in peace and continued and respected privacy.
