Well you are arguing that now aren't you? Until they do an autopsy we don't really know whether he was back on it. Or that his previous addiction plays a role. You seem to believe in guilty until proven innocent. Welcome to real world ! I just get annoyed when people make connections to things, especially in instances like this when they have no facts to work from. I suppose I should ask instead: what do you think the probability is that his suicide is due primarily to his addiction?

His face was so bright red in this show. I always worry about people with bright red faces. I always assume that they're drunk, high on drugs, suffering from some sort of health condition, stressed, or just angry at the world.
When I go to a KFC, no one recognizes me.

I suppose I should ask instead: what do you think the probability is that his suicide is due primarily to his addiction? I answered that question. If Anthony Bourdain fits the criteria of your average garden variety addicted personality, then the likelihood that his affliction played into his suicide is almost certain. Your trying to make a distinction between his mental illness and his addiction. Their is no distinction in the case of addicts. Their preexisting disposition/condition is the reason they turn to substance abuse. The substance abuse only serves to lessen the quality of their life as they blow through resources family and friends while using. It is common for addicts to quit using but still maintain the underlying problems, and they can reveal themselves in various degrees, including suicide and a whole host of self destructive behaviours. So how would you separate the mental illness from the addiction?
