I worked across the street from where he died on Sunset and Larabee -- Tower Video. Johnny Depp came in all the time. I saw all the rescue garbage on the sidewalk the morning after. Then my friend at work told me what happened a few hours before. It was so surreal.

[@gotzplaysandblogs8188]

He sadly was taking drugs

[@verprtectivefangirl2238]

Gotz Plays And Blogs yes and he was also being driven into depression due to the many disgusting people who were jealous of his career.

[@Azoria4]

Check out William richerts Facebook page- I don't think river CONSCIOUSLY took drugs that night, it will all be coming out soon

[@PeninsulaPaintings]

I think River took drugs; not because of jealous people, but to cover up the pain of the sexual abuse of his youth and the pressures of Hollywood stardom. That's why Feldman took drugs. Drug addiction is nearly always a result of an inner torment of some kind.

It's just such a shame that he passed away, the way he was a role model for those in the older generation, and if he was still with us he would most definitely be a role model to kids today, RIP River.

GÄBBŸ knowing what we do now, you have to admit that seeing River’s character disappear into thin air when his murder as an adult was mentioned is somehow eerily prophetic. Who knew then that River would actually die too soon like Chris Chambers did?

[@chadcox2052]

It usally really hard for most people to say what their favorite movie of all time is, EVERY time im ask its "Stand by Me".. Easy for me! Idk, i was young when it came out rd this age and everything about this movie reminds me of what me and my friends would do every morning on weekends when no school. We walked the tracks everywhere i mean everywhere! We even had a small treehouse we'd hangout in (Not as nice as their's was though lol). Just reminds me of my childhood & few really close friends. You'll never see a movie that will hold the test of time like this movie has & still will. When im in my 70's if lucky to still be around ill still enjoy watching this movie just as much as i did when i 1st seen it as a kid & as i do know.. Best movie ever!!!💯 Ok imma stop ranting lol. I believe imma go watch it again now lol😂😉✌👋🍿📽

[@mobiledeliveryllc9068]

Almost everything was new again for me as that was a looong time ago or I've only watched snippets of it. The feels, moments, performance, adventure, their dynamic as friends.. this is one of those films which has a great replay value on it.. This film made me think about a lot of things..

If River was still alive, he’d be the next Tom Hanks/Leonardo Decabrio, he’d have been a legend. It makes me so sad thinking about his death.

[@lottiej742]

thats what i thought too

[@ste9474]

Lol as if

[@darthtrip7188]

He would have been better than Leonardo Dicaprio..that's for damn sure. River was a better actor at age 15 than Leo was at age 25. That's a damn fact. River Phoenix in Stand by Me was a much better actor than Leo was in Titanic. Think about that.

You will! Over time, you will meet lots of people. And some of them will be the right kind of people for you.

You're gonna meet a lot of new guys. Smart guys." Give it some time ...

It's brilliant, so we watched it and it wasn't bad but at the same time laughable and dated, afterwards I mentioned "Stand By Me" cause it's my all time favourite, he hadn't seen it so we stuck it on, afterwards he said "Is that it? - I wasn't gone on that now" he loves Road House and said Stand By Me wasn't even good, I was fit to kill him

....what's wrong with marrying a single mother exactly?

[@keithode1737]

When you marry a single mother, you're validating her shitty choices and denying her the opportunity to take responsibility for herself like an adult. There are few things more shameful than being a single mother. Pedophiles and mass murderers (most created by single mothers) come to mind. Single mothers deserve NOTHING but contempt and abuse. The damage that single motherhood has wrought upon our civilization can never be undone and it's only getting worse.
