He Drank All Night the Day He Left

The town it wasn't dry
He drank so much it caused his death
Oh, mourners, don't you cry:

The cause of painter Thomas Kinkade's April 6 death may not be known for months, but according to an emergency call placed that evening, he had been "drinking all night," and his brother says that the artist had relapsed into alcoholism.

"You can be doing real real well and suddenly, the bottle calls you and you fall off," Kinkade's brother Patrick, a professor at Texas Christian University, said of the artist's struggles.

He was separated from his wife, but he wasn't lonely. He had a girlfriend, who called for help when he wasn't breathing anymore.

No, I am not going to say he pulled a Nelson Rockefeller. Considering police had been called at other times to break up fights between the two, it is likely not possible.
