Ok- sorry for the flip headline, but this is actually really sad. Sexy model/actor, Paul Zolezzi, committed suicide on Friday in Mount Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Police found his body hanging from the monkey bars of the playground in the early morning hours. Apparently Zolezzi, 30, left what appears to be a suicide note by way of Facebook status update:
"born in San Francisco, became a shooting star over everywhere, and ended his life in Brooklyn . . . And couldn't have asked for more."
Zolezzi had been struggling with a heroin addiction and a lack of stardom. When Zolezzi was 8, his father threw himself off the Golden Gate Bridge, his mother told the NY Post yesterday. So tragic.
Zolezzi's other updates suggest that he wasn't happy and looking for an escape:"Paul is wondering, what unspeakable act did I do in a previous life to deserve this one?"
"Paul is going to be the first person ever to hang himself on the way out of Portland! Everything here sucks!"
RIP Paul.

This has been a sad few weeks for FaceBook and a strategic communications nightmare for their PR firm. There is now a Paul Zolezzi - RIP group on FB with 172 members and many posts, most sympathetic, some sardonic.
