strange causal chain...

What kind of (nonsense..) causal chain is this??? "though not present during the September 11 attacks, his alcoholism in the months that followed proved fatal." It would be better to make the connection differently and perhaps write more appropiately (see also in the article: timteeman.com/2011/06/17/suzanne-vega) that T.V. was mentally affected by the events in his workplace and the many funerals after 9/11 that he subsequently attended: "Tim, a graphic designer, had worked at the World Trade Centre and was “hugely affected” by 9/11, she says. “He went to lots of funerals and kept going back to Ground Zero. The whole thing pushed him over the edge. I had several intense dreams about him where we’d speak to each other. During one I said, ‘It’s like being on the phone, I can hear you so clearly.’ He said, ‘That’s because of our connection’, both as brother and sister and because of this medium of communication. The dreams helped me feel that I was still close to him, that there was a realm I could approach him in.” 2001:9E8:1896:BE00:B8FC:9CCA:44F4:6816 (talk) 16:44, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

died not only of alcohol, but of drug abuse, too

"Vega’s brother Tim died of alcohol and drug abuse in 2002. He had struggled with alcoholism since he was 15 until his death at 36, Vega reveals, adding, “I could see his death coming. A month before he died I told him to go to rehab, but he accused me of being morbid and said he was fine.”": timteeman.com/2011/06/17/suzanne-vega 2001:9E8:1896:BE00:B8FC:9CCA:44F4:6816 (talk) 16:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
