WHY DOES THIS VICIOUS CYCLE CONTINUE?
More people die in USA from suicide than they die from homicide. According to experts, 33 percent of the people who commit suicide are suffering from some sort of substance abuse, or serious addiction.

American public expresses outrage on social media.. TV ratings for media coverage of dead celebrity go through roof as morbid curiosity trumps outrage.
