well what happened was shortly after the hiv + diagnosis, well even before that he use to party real hard, his best friends, two brothers, brian and eric elder moved to fayetteville, arkansas, so tommy started coming to arkansas, and was partying real hard, cocaine and things like that, so one night everyone went to watch his fight, and he called the house where everyone was, and told eric elder his best friend that he tested positive for hiv.........then after that he got into a real bad depression and started using methamphetamine and cocaine, and at the time bart bumpus was the one running the coke to tommy and his buddies, somehow he just fell in a black hole and was snorting and using drugs real bad, by this time I was already in los angeles, and you know I would hear things about him here and there, and then this year all this comes out, supposedly it was a false positive and all........I have no idea why he would get implants in his chest, he was always around 235 and pretty big. All in all, after the hiv thing he just kinda let things go, was blowing money partying and stuff, its just a sad thing if you ask me, I feel his fall from grace is or was bigger than magic's, seeing how I use to work for magic johnson back in the day, it was always wierd knowing I knew tommy and magic, and they both had fallen from grace.
