Charitably, I prefer to think he was in a lot of emotional and mental pain to be using Ketamine, and so many other drugs. He had been in a supervised ketamine therapy program which usually is for depression and anxiety, although the presence in the stomach and length of time from his last clinical infusion indicate he was using it orally and unsupervised as well. The other mixture of drugs, and the comments of his household assistant, indicate that he was on a rollercoaster of drug usage unfortunately not uncommon in performers. Call it the Elvis Syndrome: you take uppers to "be on stage" and put up with the demands, and then downers to try and get some relief. And then it becomes addictive.
