Since he was such a private and secretive eccentric, I wonder if he mirrored the reclusive lifestyle of Howard Hughes. How does an acrobatic man of such a young age die? WHat was his diet? Did he practice some strange rituals with drugs or steroids or, like his oxygen usage a fatally dangerous practice? Why was he in “very very bad shape” as his father reported?
He was a tragic figure who just didn’t have the psychological strength to put up with the inordinate amount of criticism he had to endure. Those who feel no empathy, nor sympathy for him have -no concern for the suffering of even the very rich or very talented. Unfortunately his IQ wasn’t sharp enough so that he could find alternate interests other than the very juvenile or the deviant sexual eccentricities. Why was he obsessed with owning the skull of the elephant man? Life in the spotlight proved to be very harmful for his paranoia to overcome.
