Don't Cry For This Mule

Bereavement is not funny. Anyone who read about Maddie Mortimer's gift here earlier this week knows how well I understand this.

Yet some people deserve to be fished out of the gene pool because they are simply too daft to stay. That's a fact. Case in point - Anthony Daniel, who has cashed in his chips at 40. No callow youth this.

He ate a kilo of cocaine and was caught by Customs. They whipped him to hospital to save his life. But no. Mr Daniel refused food and drink to stop the drugs passing through him and died a week later when the bag burst. Cause of death - acute cocaine toxicity and drug-related heart failure.

Now his family plan to sue Customs. Now that is funny. In a week when a lovely mum loses her fight to stay with her young daughters no one should shed a tear for this man. No doubt someone will cry for him - but not me.
