That was a rotten way to go out and to add insult to injury, his daughter was with him. This happening in LA should shock no one when it comes to gossip sites/shows getting wind of it long before his widow. If LAPD is involvedl, more sordid crap will come to light; I’m confident many take kickbacks from the same gossip purveyors.
It’s a shame he died so soon after his retirement, but much like politicians, the cultural white-out we’re supposed to give the recently dead is underway. Suddenly all the rape accusations he was party to are supposed to be magically forgotten. I think it should always remain in the Kobe Bryant narrative even though he may have been acquitted, it can be an asterisk next to his name like Barry Bonds’ hitting record.
