On 15 December 2007 at approximately 1:30am, he was arrested for stealing and attempting to steal a number of vehicles as well as for attacking the three vehicle owners. The attacks included injuring a 76-year-old man with a knife, and threatening to kill another. At approximately 7:00am he was found dead in his prison cell apparently due to the effect of a combination of illegal and legally prescribed drugs. He tested positive for marijuana, cocaine, and an unknown anti-anxiety drug.[8][9]
The psychiatrist who was treating him prescribed six different drugs and will be investigated by medical authorities for malpractice. The Gracie family has also stated that they will sue the doctor and the State, as Ryan was in police custody.

------------------------------------------

The crime yesterday was all over the place yesterday, but the story about his death only seemed to surface today. Ryan Gracie was the bad boy of the Gracie clan in Pride, one of the Gracies who challenged Sakuraba.

Is anyone actually trying to blame GTA for his behavior... or did you just throw that out there as your own summarization?

Nothing I hate more than trying to pin blame on a game because one fucked up kid did something that was kinda similar to what you can do in a game he once played.

Easiest thing that everyone knows here to compare it to. Though, he wasn't a kid either, unless you consider mid-thirties childhood.

Totally off topic, but:

Speaking of people trying to pin blame to videogames. This article I don't recommend reading, there is nothing worse in the world than reading about the abuse of a little girl.

I saw another reply on another forum on that which I found morbidly funny.

They posted a comment under the article that just said:

FINISH HER!

It made me laugh, and then I felt bad...
