yep.
thread in the COR also.
| quote: | In 1980, he nearly lost his life when he suffered severe burns over 50 percent of his body while freebasing cocaine at his home. An admitted "junkie" at the time, Pryor spent six weeks recovering from the burns and much longer from drug and alcohol dependence.
He battled multiple sclerosis throughout the '90s. |
| quote: | | IMDB: Has admitted the fire that nearly killed him while free-basing cocaine in the early 1980's was in fact a suicide attempt. His management created the "accident" lie for the press in hopes of protecting him. |

See No Evil, Hear No Evil was one of my faves.
