Apparently he had a concussion! He hit his head while landing a plane he built...so i read!
He complained of a headache before he went to bed and apparently did not wake up.

Sounds like an epidural hematoma, but usually that involves loss of consciousness. Not just a hit on the head.

Not sure of the details, but it's crazy. He was interviewed by Conan just a few days ago.

crazy...at first i thought it had to do with too much OxyClean....just shows even the good guys aren't always squeeky clean

[bigblockmatt]

thats too bad. he was great. eh, doesnt everyone do a little coke now and then?....

That explains why he was always yelling at us and using way too many hand gestures. Damn you cocaine!

He probably had to do a few lines go get hyped up for his shoots and came back down with vicodine and oxycontin. Where do these celebrities get these prescription drugs? My effin head hurts almost 24/7 and has now for ~ 7 months and I can't get a doctor to prescribe me anything for pain.

Have you had your eyes checked Major_A? Persistant headaches in computer users are usually caused by either tension (holding shoulders too tight causing the trapezius to pull down on the base of the skull) or farsightedness.

Or crossing your eyes too much while wearing police hats.

I've been to two neurologists who have classified them as transform migraine headaches (which I think is wrong). Since I've been out of work I average 2 hours a day on the computer and most of that is visiting these forums. My head hurts around the temples and is sore to the touch so I nor the two neurologists I've seen seem to know what is causing them.

In basic terms of understanding it feels like I'm laying on my side and an 18 wheeler is parked on my head.
