(Newser) – He lived a life so wild that it was the subject not only of a Hollywood feature film but a documentary to boot. But that life ended on Christmas Eve in a way that might not be surprising to those familiar with 54-year-old Michael Alig: an apparent heroin overdose in New York City, reports the Daily News. Tina Moore and Kate Sheehy of the New York Post sum things up: "Alig’s death was the final chapter in a sordid, sensational—and decidedly cautionary—tale about striving to become famous in the Big Apple and ultimately succumbing to its excesses."
Attorney's for singer R. Kelly filed a motion in court today claiming there is video that shows Kelly being assaulted. The attorneys claim the video shows no one at the jail, "raised a finger" until an inmate was "well into beating Kelly". According to CNN, Kelly was assaulted in late August at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago. A Bureau of Prisons report says a prison employee ordered the attacker to stop and deployed pepper spray. Kelly's attorneys claim the video shows the attacker "roamed a great distance" before carrying out the attack. Kelly was indicted on federal charges in Illinois for child pornography, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
