This sudden news of Hector Camacho's death is very sad. Although, he was a professional boxer, he could not escape his demons of drug addiction. This shows how many celebrities are not complete, no matter how much fame or fortune they possess, whether they be politicians, entertainers or athletes.

In Hector Camacho's case, it seems as though he was hanging out with the wrong person and as usual, hanging out with the wrong people, no mater how popular or cool they may seem, could get a person in a lot of trouble. Sadly, some people never learn hanging out with the most popular or coolest people is not good and it can shorten your life. Hector Camacho was only 50 years old. May he rest in peace.
