I don't know why people are removing information from this article - I dare say that Gordon's cannabis usage never appeared much in the media, but then piping isn't much of a mainstream thing to start with. Likewise his suicide. If you want substantiation, ask just about any piper out there. We all saw what was happening. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.62.204.75 (talk • contribs) .

please have some respect for Gordons family and refrain from adding any more details on his personal life and subsequent passing away.

I know personally that this would cause a great deal of distress to them, and as you say, pretty much anyone in the piping world would be able to give substantiation.

thanks

I won't let this become an edit war (I posted the top comment, BTW), as it will serve no purpose, but I would just note that I knew Gordon slightly and many people that were close to him, family and others. At the end of the day, the path Gordon chose to follow was his own and editing the facts out does not help anybody. At the very least, if it stops just one uninformed person walking up to Iain and asking what he died of (which I have heard has already happened at least once) then having the information here will do some good. I hardly think that after what has happened that having a fair account on a reference website is going to cause any more pain. Calum 21:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm with Calum. Wikipedia is about facts, so this article should definitely include information about Gordon's death. (A lot of people looking at this article will be trying to find out about his death.) MatthewLiberal 02:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
