His songs have carried me through the highs and lows in my life these last 25 years or so... He most likely killed himself. I almost cried this morning. This is a good one to start with CnD - hope you like it...

I'm not familiar with him either but it sounds like he had quite some talent, albeit with one hand on the self-destruct button.
