Where are the sources?
[edit]Something's funny here. There are 5 references at the bottom of this page, and none seem to mention his drug problem, or imprisonment.
The Wikipedia article currently says that he lost an appeal 2 years into a 4.5-to-9 year sentence, and then died 3 months later, but that he died in the city of Spring Valley, NY, which has no prison.
All the edits relating to drugs/prison were made by an anonymous user with IP address "76.189.172.164", who made 7 edits total (this page and 2 other pop singers). The first edit here changed his date of death, from June 25 (as 2 of the sources claim) to June 15th (as 1 of the sources claims -- but it also links directly back to this Wikipedia article). This user's second edit to this page, 7 minutes after the first, changed the day, month, and year of his incarceration.
These are a lot of very specific edits, and then re-edits, with no source. They don't even seem to be internally consistent.
There's something we're missing. I don't trust anything in the "Later years" section, except for his approximate date of death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.109.5.23 (talk) 05:34, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
