Yup, very sad, both the reason he was in jail and the fact that he has died. How much can one family take?

[Blu]

I know right. Eddie Levert has know lived past both his sons. I'm sure that must kill him inside

[FULLOFME]

What a shame!

I am sure there will be alot of speculation on why he died until they make an official report...

Again this is a very sad situation, and I know the family is really going through a hard time regarding the tragedy. Not only do they have to deal with the death, but the embarasssing situation that surrounds his death.

I didn’t even know he was in jail. First Gerald now Sean…I know that his family must really be going through it. That’s so sad.
