His last words was a suicide note titled "Football Season Is Over," it read:

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt."

It could be considered his "last piece" because it was later published in Rolling Stones Magazine.

But technically his last piece of work was "The Rum Diary ". It was written in the early 1960s but was not published until 1998. He also has one more novel that the will soon to be released called "Prince Jellyfish"

His last written words were a suicide note he wrote 4 days before he killed himself.

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt."

My thought is that it is too bad no one realized how depressed he was, and got him the help he needed. The guy didn't have a terminal illness-- he was an aging alcoholic who had a hip replacement and a broken leg. His suicide was a way to end his mental anguish--which is very sad.
