Paging the Cohen Brothers...

"Metcalf died in 2003 at age 45 while living in a replica of George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate built in Corbin, Ky. His death followed multiple run-ins with the law, including a child-support dispute from a previous marriage and a drunken driving charge filed before he hit the jackpot.

"Neighbors said Merida stayed out of public view until last December, when a body was found in her 5,000-square foot, custom-built geodesic dome house. Campbell County Deputy Coroner Al Garnick confirmed that the man died of a drug overdose. Official records of the case were unavailable because of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend."

2. Leonard Cohen has a brother?

I just know how to spell that because I took an economics course from their dad. I also had him write a letter of recommendation for me to goto graduate school.

3. The "H" is silent, sorry to point that out....

Coen. That's their name. Easy to spell wrong, just like other directors like Soderbergh and Jonze!

4. With each sentence, the tragedy gets worse with these two

The USA Today link discusses his crashing into cars at the mall, a $500,000 gift he was suing to get back, and on and on. Sadly, it is so fucking funny you wonder what they;ll find out Monday when they can get to the records. And the person renting the house? Home free now.

People driving a train wreck of a life should never have a wheel barrow of money dumped in front of them.
