Charlie Sheen’s former assistant found dead

Charlie Sheen’s life-changing actions caused his career to go south, as well as that of his former assistant Rick Calamaro, who was found dead on Sunday. For many years, the man had been in and out of Sheen’s life and some people had alleged he was partly to blame for the actor’s relationship with drugs last year, according to TMZ. “Rick Calamaro was found deceased in his Los Angeles apartment July 1, although it looks like he was dead for several days,” law enforcement officers said. Police reportedly found numerous pain medications and an open bottle of alcohol in Calamaro’s apartment. Although his death is suspected to be drug related, the official cause of death has yet to be announced. ~Graeme Mollison
