(Decomposing) Man In The Box

My friend Dave emailed the following in response to this story on the death of Layne Staley, whose body apparently had begun to decompose before anyone discovered him:

I wasn't surprised by the death, only surprised that his friends and family took so long to notice that he was missing that he started decomposing. But, I guess if you're a junkie flake that they come to expect those extended absences.

It's true, isn't it? I about fell out of my chair laughing.
