Quick update, folks. Alex Chandler, Danny Roddick‘s ex-partner, tells me that Mr. Roddick’s family will have no memorial service and that no obituary has been placed in the newspapers. Mr. Chandler has also posted that information, with a few additional details, in the comments section of the story just below this one. However, a public memorial service is being organized by Mr. Roddick’s friends and is set for San Francisco sometime in October. Stay tuned for details on that.

Meanwhile, the official cause of death has not been released. The coroner’s office investigation is ongoing and a report is expected to be issued next week. A lot of speculation is being accepted as truth thanks to the speed of the internets. But no cause of death has been released.

    I don’t trust this “ex” of his. He’s out there partying it up on the weekends. Somethings not right with any of this. The family refuses to put an obituary in the paper. No funeral other than some future memorial with no date set. No cause of death revealed. An ongoing supposed investigation. Fact vs fiction about certain things. What the hell is really going on with all of this?

    Folks — Let’s not get carried away. When I called around last week, the toxicology report hadn’t yet been completed. As soon as the COD is confirmed, I will run the information here.

    As for the obituary, it’s not unusual for a family to choose not to pay for an obituary. We don’t know exactly why Danny’s family chose not to have a memorial service or pay for an obit (I’d rather not speculate), but it’s their choice. We don’t have to like it, but it’s their choice.

    Regards,
    JCA

    JC there is a story there but it\’s ugly and it\’s going to take some research. I can tell you now that the COD will never be made public so don\’t get your hopes up over that. This is not based on speculation. I have no sympathy for the ex at all. He\’s been playing a sick game trying to cover his tracks in all of this and you will find that out as well.

    I do feel very bad for John Rutherford and Colt Studios for being blamed for any of this. There is a reason why that happened as well because there are those within the Colt family that did see some odd things and it wasn\’t just partying. There was a very controling person in that relationship and there were hints of an obsessive behavior that showed signs of abuse. Pay close attention to what the ex admits to.

    He has said he was in Matts apartment many times and had to be shuffled out real fast if someone showed up so no one would know. If there was a problem with being \”caught\” why didn\’t they just meet some place else? After all it was a mutual desire to be with one another. Do you get that at all? Could the ex have been stalking Matt, showing up at his place and just wouldn\’t leave him alone? Could he have been so controling he made Matt feel like he couldn\’t function without him? Could Matt have tried as hard as he could to get on with his life but the ex kept pestering him?

    Matt never needed to tell anyone how freaky Darins behavior could be because there were some of us that saw it.

    It makes me sick that Darin gets to play the role of grieving widower when Matt can\’t speak out about certain things. He may have said he wanted the guy to leave him alone.

    You are also going to find out the family has paid their last respects but they have done it very quietly to avoid certain things. Ask them who they blame in all of this and you will begin to find out the truth.

    I hope you will allow this post. I\’m trying to help you notice a few things without actually saying them. My suggestion is for you to contact Matts sister and start there. Like I said, it\’s a very ugly situation.

    What comes first, the drugs or the porn? It is too bad that he didn’t choose more quality people to associate with. I have done porn, and never felt any pressure to do drugs. This dude did drugs and consequently died from them because he liked to do them and his BF Darin liked them as well. Unfortunately the ones that deserve to feel the repercussions never do.

    Guess he’s partying with Anna Nicole now. That could be fun.
