so far, they think the fucker died of natural causes, no foul play involved. i'm betting his heart exploded, or he was struck by a lightning bolt from heaven or his soul was snatched by satan.
the entire season had already been filmed. he died just after the third episode aired. his girlfriend found him on the floor in the kitchen. she hadn't seen him in 3 or 4 hours and was supposedly just upstairs. he obviously found a place to live but it was someone else's and not his or his girlfriend's.
he was the MOST sarcastic fucker i've even seen on tv, he acted more ignorant than anyone on the 4 real-world episodes I saw.
his smart-ass comments were canned bullshit responses that he couldn't even use correctly. half of the time, he'd say something you'd say to be a smartass in response to a question, but his responses never seem to really fit the situation. i am not saying TDC fed him lines.
go over to the discovery channel web boards. there was a page of all sorts of dipshits crying and saying how great a guy he was. someone finally chimed in and expressed similar opinions as i have and the thread quickly became 8 pages long. needless to say, i signed up and instantly responded a little stronger than i did here.
i really don't like talking like this about people who die. he wasn't a criminal, addict or child molester as far as we know, and noone deserves to die or be made fun of because of their attitude. i really appreciate all of the lee-way (sp?) people i work with give me as far as attitude and mouthiness are concerned, but that guy was a cocksucker to everyone on the show and the three of them were long-time friends. i would imagine that truth was stretched in the article i read and maybe dave and donovan were friends and knew tim as kids but i'm sure he had no real friends as a kid.
BY THE WAY- THE GUYS ON THE TDC BOARD WENT AS FAR AS TO SAY THEY WISHED DAVE WOULD PUT TIM INTO ONE OF THE A-10 DROPTANKS THEY WERE LOOKING TO BUY AND DROP HIM IN THE DESERT!!!
