"No further hope"

Tom Sizemore in coma in intensive care since Feb. 18
Tom Sizemore's doctors have "informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end-of-life decision" after the actor suffered a brain aneurysm that occurred as a result of a stroke last week in Los Angeles, according to his rep.
The "Black Hawk Down" star has remained in a coma and in intensive care after collapsing at home on Saturday, Feb. 18.
"Doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end-of-life decision," Sizemore's representative, Charles Lago, confirmed to Fox News Digital.
"The family is now deciding end-of-life matters."
During his book tour, he credited his dependency on substances to one of the pitfalls of success.
"First I drank. People could tell if you were drunk, so then I was like, 'Hey, look, let me find a drug where I feel comfortable in my own skin,'" he told the Associated Press. "But I did. I found a drug and it was called cocaine. I did it for a while. Then I found an even better drug and it was called heroin."
Finally, he said, crystal meth became the drug that consumed his life. In 2003, he was convicted of assault and battery on ex-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss, a former Hollywood madam. She testified that Sizemore punched her in the jaw at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, and once beat her so badly she could not attend the premiere of "Black Hawk Down."
Following the conviction, where he was sentenced to probation, rehab and anger management in addition to a jail sentence, Sizemore denied he abused Fleiss and accused her of faking a picture showing her bruises.
What a sad, troubled man.
