  28. When most of these celebs attain a particular height in their careers they expect to fill d void they feel but unfortunately d void remains. This overwhelming feeling of emptiness can push sm1 over the edge, in this case literally. Most stars get lonelier as they rise higher in their careers. They think more money n fame will give them d satisfaction they crave. Only Jesus can fill dat void n give satisfaction on every side. When pple experience a disconnect in their spirit man n they don't seek help n counselling, suicide always seems d best way to end it all. Very sad, my God have mercy on his soul.
