"Hunter S Thompson was an author trapped in the body of a rock star. His drug-fuelled adventures were legendary and became the basis of one of the classics of 20th century literature. Thompson’s constant questioning of authority and wild antics made him a hero for a generation of rebels across the globe. But in the end it wasn’t enough.
A lifetime of alcohol and drug abuse was taking their toll. At 67, with a broken leg, two hip operations and in chronic pain Thompson could no longer live up to the legend he’d created. On February 20, 2005, he decided to end it all with one of his favorite possessions, a Smith and Wesson 45. Final 24 charts the life of this troubled genius and uncovers why a bullet to the head was the only way out."

Oh man do I know how this man felt. I’m 56 and locked in my house with my body engulfed in arthritis and fibromyalgia. I also worked hard and played harder my whole life, it really sucks and depressing when our bodies can’t keep up with our brains and feelings. Sometimes I wish I had the guts to do what he did but could never do that to my family. For some reason they all still love me and want me around so I take it one day at a time.

My beloved mother, Mary Jo, committed suicide when I was 12. I have a Master’s degree in Psych Mental Health Nursing, and I worked for about 45 years as a nurse here in Houston and south Texas. I am 72. I never hated my mother. My sister, Karen, who was about 2 years younger than I, did have a lot of hatred and anger for our mother. My older sister, Linda, loved and adored and missed our mother dearly- just as I did! My mother’s suicide happened about 50 years ago. My mind and heart simply cannot fathom how I have survived without her! The pain and sense of loss NEVER leaves me!!

I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved mother . I lost my mother who was also my best friend at a early age as well ( it was not suicide) however I was very young trying my best to bring her back with CPR . Unfortunately it did not work. My life as I knew it was over . I am 52 now it still haunts me, I still feel guilty, I still feel like I failed my mom. However she had heart failure and it sucks. I miss her every single day . I feel very bad for you John Indo I’m glad you have a degree in Psych Mental Health Nursing . I am also a mother myself . I do not know the circumstances of your situation. However I can not imagine a mother willingly leaving their children ( by suicide) unless the had a serious mental illness or a very unhealthy relationship making their life extremely unbearable. To the point your mom may have been very worried for her children . She may have thought you all would have been better off without her . It’s hard to hypothesize without knowing the dynamics of the situation. I do know that most mothers have very strong bond with there children . I also know mental illness it a horrible health condition that Carries a horrible stigma with it especially and that day and time. It’s unfortunate that even in todays day it still Carries that horrible stigma ( still to this very day ) I fear for what you’re mother Mary Jo may have been put through back then . I’m not saying she was mental Ill. I’m just saying back in that era things were so very different and you were so very young . Things may have happened you don’t or can’t remember. Moms usually will make sacrifices for their children to keep them safe even if it’s the ultimate sacrifice. Sometimes things are exactly what they seem . And other times we find out later in life … we were told wrong because people thought it would be in the best interest of the children at the time. Just go with your heart . I was so impressed and happy that you called and addresses your mother as you beloved mother Mary Jo . Congratulations on your degree I hope that has helped you throughout your life coping with the loss of your mother . I’m sorry if I said anything out of line . I was just so very touched by your “ life” thank you for sharing . God bless you and your family .

We got to talk to HST on the phone once when I was in college back in 1999. Looked his number up on the "old net" and found it listed. Called him out of the blue and he actually rapped with me and a couple buddies for a while. We had been watching Fear amd Loathing and told him how much we loved it and asked him if it was really that crazy in Vegas. He said it was even Crazier than the movie could portray. He ended the call with "all right, that's it, I gotta go". One of my favorite books, movie, amd memory for sure!

Well he’s a hero for his work not for being an addict. Also during those times even now a man is suppose to be strong and not show weakness. Most people judge others with mental health issues instead of understanding them. That’s why most people with mental health issues and addictions stay silent because are ashamed and struggle with communicating their issues. Women have an easier time expressing themselves but most men have a really hard time and struggle in silence. I think In recent years that has began to change though as we learn more about mental health and sit down to understand instead of judging and jumping to conclusions.

I went to one of his readings/signings when Shark Hunt had been released. It was at the College of Marin in CA. I was maybe 20 and an over the top fan, having read everything he'd ever published. His appearance was set up in a small auditorium, and he was scheduled to appear at 2pm. On a stage above us was his 'Samoan Attorney' who announced to the crowd that Hunter would only respond to written questions, so slips of paper and stubby pencils were passed out to each of us which we hurriedly and excitedly filled out just before someone came by to collect them all in a large glass jar...So, we waited, and we waited until about one hour later, a drunken, stumbling Dr Hunter S. Thompson, was helped up on the stage. His first action once seated at the table, was to knock the jar of our questions off the table with the swipe of his arm, then announce, "Any questions?" We abused admirers fell into laughter while he began to swig on a large bottle of Wild Turnkey 101...After a short, rambling and nearly incoherent speech, his Samoan attorney announced that "the DR' would now sign books. There were perhaps 200 of us, all racing toward the stage, each attempting to thrust a book toward him. This turned into a melee. After each of his rapidly circular signatures he would simply toss the book to the nearest person. He signed mine but someone tried to grab it and run. Fortunately I was able to stop the guy and take my book back...Still, the most memorable book signing I've ever attended.

I worked at the pontchartrain hotel in New Orleans when hunter Thompson stayed there in January/February of 2005. He was a shell of a grumpy senile old man in a wheelchair. This girl I worked with in the bar ended up working for him as a caretaker while he was there staying in a suite. She told me he would take pills and drink all day and piss his pants. He was pretty much checked out already. I met him and Sean penn there. I got a gray gonzo tshirt from Thompson personally.

An absolutely amazing friend of mine (a doctor) lived life as fully as possible.. She had a rare, nasty form of arthritis & slowly but surely stopped being able to do all the things she loved.. The pain became too much & she decided that when it became unbearable she'd go to a place in Switzerland called Dignitas & get assisted suicide... Her last year she spent time with her family & friends & did things she always wanted to do... Til finally she decided it was time to go... That was 5 years ago,, I love her & miss her intensely,, but she lived how she wanted & died how & when she wanted.. I believe strongly in assisted suicide.. I also believe that when it gets too hard we shld all be able to end our lives when & where we decide..

I am now 70 years old and I understand how hard it is to deal with pain and wanting to be your normal self. I just came through a sick spell and it was a very hard time for me. I was afraid I wasn’t going to fully get over it. I quit working when I was 62, because of arthritis in my feet and ankles. Now my knees are bone on bone. Injections help, but I don’t think it is going to last long. I wish I was able to be more of a grandmother to my two young granddaughters. I could never do away with myself. Never. I have family to think about. My father and two older sisters were bedridden. My oldest sister was bedridden for 8 years. My other sister can hardly walk due to arthritis and neuropathy. She is on pain management and it doesn’t control the pain. Hell, she is 78, so get her meds that really help. Both of us get infection in the fronts of our legs. Horrific pain.

Oh man, I am 63 and at age 48, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid, and Osteoarthritis, along with degenerative bone disease. I had no idea what other ailments these diseases could cause. I have several pinched nerves due to no cartilage between my joints. The one in my neck is absolutely horrific!! I'm having vision problems now as well. Pain is, well, like its own separate entity!! It will break you!! It is such a part of my life, I have to take everything into consideration before I go anywhere or do anything. Going out to eat, hmmm, what are the chairs like, will they kill my back, or will I be able to stand them for a couple of hours. No more going to the movies, those seats are killer!! If any amount of walking is involved, forget it, my knees are almost bone on bone! Who would ever think 2 bones rubbing together could hurt so bad?? I guess its the nerves involved. I am a relatively new grandma and it is my reason for living. My sweet little granddaughter always has a pillow ready for my back when I visit. She is aware I have something wrong with me, but like so many others, since she can't see it, its hard for her to understand. I get pain meds, but they do about as much good as an M&M would. It hurts me to push her on the swing but I do it anyway. I can't play chase with her and its very difficult to play hide and seek, but I try. We mostly color, have tea party's or play with her dolls. And i am very thankful I can do that. Before she came along, I thought about suicide. But i planned on driving myself out in the woods so not to make a mess or have a loved one find me. I would call the police and tell them what I'm about to do and where to find me. My oldest son tells me to keep holding on, maybe a cure is coming soon. It would be wonderful if he is right.

I did acid over 400 times, multiple hits, during the early to mid 1970’s - I NEVER had a “bad trip”! Violence was NEVER a facet of my trips, EVER. To have a “bad trip”, the “bad” part must pre-exist within the individuals own mind. I found LSD to be incredibly inspiring. I continued to take the occasional dose, maybe once every 15 months or so, as an average, until just a few yrs ago, and I’m 64 as of this comments posting. Hunter was huge for me. I was reading his books and articles in Rolling Stone as they were published. He had a profound effect on me. Peace

Suicide is often considered an act of selfishness, cowardice, or submission to defeat, and maybe sometimes it is. But anybody who's ever been there, psychologically, knows it takes a lot of courage. Possibly the most courageous thing a human can do. The unknown is limitless, filled with fear and wonder and possibilities we will never comprehend, trapped in this realm. When the known is no longer a concept worth surviving, the unknown shall be the only comfort worth exercising.

When you reach a point where you feel suicide is the only outlet, extend your arm out to the great I Am and ask permission out loud to let you go. This is because one life is greater then the entire planet. That's how big we are. If you could process our greatness, the act of suicide would seem ridiculous and laughable.

Part of the loneliness is caused by the fact that you can not do a lot of the things that your friends and loved ones can do so you are left out of the picture, some of my choice as to not be selfish and ruin their fun and some of it obviously just not asked, which is fine and completely understandable but nonetheless lonely, and at some point some people decide that the quality of life just isn't there anymore or enough and choose to end it. That is not where I am at but it does leave me with more understanding than most.

Added note to his funeral was a funeral that included blasting his ashes out of a cannon and a HUGE party that was largely paid for by Johnny Depp. For someone who loved firearms and explosions, the ending was in perfect character. His family talked about how everyone knew, even though they did not know the exact day. I hear a lot of people talk negatively, but, we all live our lives, and no one is perfect. The only thing that I would say, is for those who have to clean up the mess after a gunshot suicide, it is a nightmare and too much for anyone to deal with, I wish people knew that. I also believe that physician assisted suicide should be every-ones right and easy to get. It is legal in some states in USA and some other countries because people understand that people do not want to suffer, and everyone knows we treat our pets better. I hope everyone can find the help they need to be comfortable and joyous. I believe mind is strong and capable of a lot, but, I know that pain can make it very difficult to remain calm. I think it would be good if everyone learned some techniques both spiritual and physical that can help when things get feeling overwhelming. Love to you!

If you believe Hunter married a woman that did not take drugs, especially psychedelics, you are very naive. This is a propaganda piece, not the real truth. Hunter was into Satanism/Crowleyism, but you wil never hear this from any mainstream media, such as this "documentary". I wouldnt be surprised if this entire series is sponsored and funded by CIA or FBI in some form. They never tell the real truth about the "stars" they present.

Those who judge have no concept of the context with which we lived during those times, much like the shit we are going through now. Who are you to judge a society who was dealing with much the same social issues we have today. He was real for the times and spoke the hard truths without the aid of the radically controlled internet. He inspired a generation of writers to be honest and to be a part of the story, instead of lying for a narrative dictated by a rich publisher... He is the last of a true breed of generational writers that defined the times. No one today can come close to matching those qualities because they don't write for themselves, they write for fame & money...

Until I saw this I wouldn't believe he committed suicide. Back when he did it I was still strong and healthy. But now as my own body breaks down and barely surviving the pain every day, from my own wild and crazy life I can relate. The fun is over, no more drugs, drinking, dancing, running, riding my horses or even a bicycle, no more wild sex, because the chronic pain is all I really think about or feel anymore. I definitely don't want to become a burden to my children and grandchildren. Plus now the thought of being in control of the end, being able to plan for it and know when you're going, would be appealing. Thankyou for sharing this video, it really has given me some peace of mind, knowing why he did it. That he too suffered from chronic hip, back and leg pain, that he knew the fun was all over now! I hope you aren't Resting Hunter but now you're free from that old broken down model, that your up and at it writing, drinking doing drugs and kicking ass again! Live on FOREVER GONZO! 📒🚘🍄🍻🥂🥃🍹🍸💊💉🚬

On the other hand, one of the members of Velvet Underground did a one-man tour before he was clean from opiates and the whole show was dogshit! He was just babbling a lot like an incoherent homeless junkie. Some drugs can help untap some of what lies dormant, but not every recreational drug is like the “limitless” pill.

Cruel selfish bastard to inflict such pain and horror onto his wife, son and grandson (especially). No kind of man.

Hunter didn’t care about others except in a controlling way.he couldn’t control his body that he damaged so he shot it, it would have deeply effected his family but he didn’t think of them.

Ok, HST gave us 3 or 4 brilliant books but by and large he was an asshole. He started out, someone said, as a journalist pretending he was a drug addict, and ended up being a drug addict pretending he was a journalist. This was not a good man, and he did a lot of damage to people during the course of a really crappily led life.

I recently watched a documentary about Jim Morrison bc I never knew anything about him. Jim Morrison seems like the same genius type of tortured soul as Hunter. They both seemed stuck at wild reckless age 16 never healing from whatever made them both traumatized souls

The account around 17:00 minute-mark is misleading. You can see a TV interview with Thompson and a member of Hell's Angels where they discuss the beating. It was over a member of the gang beating both his wife and dog, and Thompson said, "Only a punk beats his wife and dog." at which point he got stomped. It wasn't in regards to royalties from the book. However, because of the beating, Hunter didn't buy them a number of kegs of beer that he said he would in exchange for writing the book. So the non-payment came AFTER the beating, not the reason for it.
