Vic Chesnutt was worried about how to pay for medical bills before suicide [View All]

I had read earlier about him committing suicide but I caught this little blip in the LA Times write-up and it just breaks my heart.

In recent interviews he contemplated the challenges he faced as a wheelchair-bound paraplegic with inadequate health insurance and mounting medical bills.

"I'm not too eloquent talking about these things," Chesnutt told The Times earlier this month. "I was making payments, but I can't anymore and I really have no idea what I'm going to do. It seems absurd they can charge this much. When I think about all this, it gets me so furious. I could die tomorrow because of other operations I need that I can't afford."
