Mystery Person 04

Just who was this guy, anyway? Was fascinated with death. Sometimes wrote poems about dying. Often drew pictures of self hanging from noose. He was photographed lying in a casket (while still alive) . Wore a bridge because he had no front teeth. A likely shock: He smiles at you with bridge out. Had some roommates who were gay. This bozo once urinated in a very public setting. Was a screen star years ago. Actually did say 'Live fast, die young'. One year, filmed TV commercial on auto safety. He said 'Drive carefully, the life you save may be mine.' Was brought down in a car wreck a few weeks later.
