I'm afraid I can't bring myself to have any sympathy for him as a person. 3 years ago he was given a new liver and told if he drank again he would die.
He stayed on the wagon for a couple of years but then started drinking again, eventually leading to Friday's outcome.
So essentially he was given a second chance in life and chose to throw it away... that liver he was given could have gone to someone else in need, maybe saved a life that wouldn't then have wasted it.
So no, I can't feel sympathy for him.
But I can celebrate how great he was in his prime and mourn the waste of a sporting genius. :)
Oh, and you can tell your husband that George used to be known as the 5th Beatle back in his pomp. :D

Liver transplants usually aren't approved for people with alcoholism, because it is such a difficult disease to get over. I tend to hold people accountable for the choices they make in life, but if you think of alcoholism as a disease and not just a choice, it's easier to be somewhat sympathetic. I struggle to see those illnesses that we bring on ourselves in the same light as those that strike through no known cause. But, alcoholism is a terrible way to live your life and a horrible death. So, I feel sorry for him. He can't have been happy if he was willing to waste what he had.

So who knows...
I suspect he got a new liver due to him having lots of money... :/
At the West Ham vs Manchester United match today (George played for Man Utd), they held a one minute Applause rather than a one minute silence. :)
I think that's a better way to go.
