This is a common theme with mental health illness.
Those 60 minutes(??) on TV were most likely the rare moments he was able to escape the demons in his head.
We recently had an 18 year old rugby teammate pass away in almost identical circumstances. He was the life of the changerooms, he use to make fun about himself being a bit over-weight, we use to call him man-child and played on his self laughter about his weight, in actual fact we admired his size as it was vital to our team. Being overweight in a rugby team is a great thing.
Unbeknown to us was there was genuine issues there in regards to his weight and that a lot of his comedic behaviour was a cover up for greater issues.
If only we knew there would have been a lot we could have done.
