Journalist Hunter Thompson, longtime contributor to Rolling Stone<\/i> magazine and author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas<\/i>, committed suicide in 2005 at age sixty-seven. His addiction to drugs and alcohol and his abusive actions toward others were no secret. After his death, his first wife, Sandy Conklin-Thompson, wrote:<\/p>\n
He was, on the one hand, extremely loving and tender, brilliant and exciting, generous and kind. On the other end of the spectrum\u2014he was full spectrum\u2014he was extremely cruel.\u2026<\/p>\n
I will never forget something Hunter once said to me. In one of his tender moments, I asked him if he knew when he was about to become the Monster. He said, \u201cSandy, it\u2019s like this. I sense it first, and before I have completely turned around he is there. He is me.\u201d<\/p>\n
