Ghosthouse, I was sympathetic with Dolphy until just before the end. He was not a drug addict, but he was acting somewhat like a junky, and that's what the medical people thought.
No junky would ever go on stage in that horrible condition; why did he go on stage? He went into a diabetic coma because Doctors thought he was a junky, and didn't treat him as a diabetic. Why didn't everyone know that he was a diabetic? That was Eric's fault. Did he know he was diabetic?
If a genius was diabetic, he could quite possibly seem a little "cooky" if his blood sugar got too low. Erik's death was Erik's fault; he didn't die because he had diabetes, he died because he was not living like someone who had diabetes, and not only that, but the people close to him didn't seem to know that he was diabetic.
I can not think about his music, after discovering how unnecessary his death was.
Enjoy the music.
