The heartbreaking part of this post is this tragic, untimely and early death was absolutely caused by preventable extreme addiction (read alcoholism) that culminated in liver failure prompting death. As tragic as this is, it holds a lesson for us all as addictions do kill and anyone grappling with these circumstances needs to be acutely aware of that. This goes also for the loved ones surrounding them who are key to them potentially finding happiness in sobriety.
