He led, as he said, "a very controversial, unpleasant life." He was addicted to glue, alcohol and heroin, and engaged in frequent bouts of self-mutilation using razors and glass.

Over the years he racked up a conviction sheet 20 pages thick and came close, many times, to killing himself.

At one point, he threatened his girlfriend with a knife, then threatened to kill their infant son if the police stormed the house.
