33. Makes me angry when such a young man would so selfishly abandon his young wife for drugs - and WE KNOW it was NOT pot! What is wrong with these talented, beautiful and wealthy young people? They are given SOOOO much in life, and just piss it all away for some crack-head dope dealer riding down the street on a bike, cause he's can't drive anymore! AND controlled substance?!? Okay, I don't do drugs, and truly don't know all that "lingo", but what sort of "controlled substance" killed this young man? More like and un-controlled substance, if you ask me.

I sure hope she is not on drugs, and I hope that as the next 2 years pass, she is able to forgive him for having left her in such a careless and rude manner. That poor girl.

35. While I do have condolenses for Corinne herself, I can't feel much sympathy for her husband. He chose his path.

Still out of respect for her, I'll refrain from any nasty comments about him. I will also say I hope its a lesson for her to stay away from drugs! Hopefully, she isn't on any herself.

41. That is so sad. She is a talented singer who I've never heard about in any of the gossip rags. He apperently was a talented musician who over-tested his luck. Before people judge those who OD on drugs, think about if you have ever experimented, or know someone who has had a problem. No one deserves to die. No one asks for that kind of life. Pain and suffering lead to this the majority of the time. So stop acting Holier-than-Thou and keep your mean opinions to yourself. I mean, you have nothing better to do than trash people on TMZ, maybe a non-fatal addiction, but an obnoxious addiction all in itself!!!

42. So very sad. I love her singing. She has so much potential. Bless her.
I don't care how he died. He's DEAD people. It's still someone that was once close to her.
Too bad is was not many of the skanky young stars out there.
Be nice people.

44. I, too, am sorry for her. What did he OD on? She didn't seem the type to have an addict for a husband.
