I have all of Boston Legal, and I don't remember him on there??? 27, so young, that's too bad.

*Edit: Nevermind, remember him now........looks different with all the scruff.

Our friends lost their 18 year old daughter the same way this past summer.. no seatbelt, went out of control, down a small hill, went through a chain link fence and hit a tree that was so small it snapped in half. She most likely would have survived if she had worn her seatbelt. So sad:( I'm hoping that experience will keep my kids buckled up once they start driving.

I'm not a parent, but I've gotta imagine burying your kid is the absolute worst tragedy you can endure as a human being.
