Mitch Hedberg[edit]

"In 2005, Hedberg's drug use seemed to spiral out of control. At a performance in Phoenix, Arizona in February, Hedberg nearly collapsed on stage and asked the audience for drugs, which he then ingested onstage."

I think a statement of this nature needs to have attribution if it's going to be on this page. I can't find any mention of such an anecdote in any stories about Hedberg's death. Out of respect for the deceased, I don't want it to remain on the page without attribution just because it seems to fit with what we know about Hedberg's problems with drug abuse.

The "performance" link on the Mitch Hedberg page points to an external site that appears to confirm the statement. — RJH 17:20, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There are two sites on the talk page in fact which confirm this, as well as several others I've run across in the meantime. I don't see why it necessarily needs to be linked on the page itself.--The Grza 17:57, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)....(later) Also, Edits should never be made "out of respect for the deceased", but with truth, accuracy, meaningfulness, and possibly "The American Way".--The Grza 18:01, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
