Mr Hogan was also on ANTIDEPRESSANTS - which increase the risk of SUICIDE - this poor man is yet another victim of the Medical Profession.

Mr Hogan was irrisponsible he should be in a mental hospitl not going away getting drunk on holiday! did the doctor who gave him the tablets for depression advise him not to DRINK aswell I doubt it!

I should point out a family statement has said that Mr Hogan was not drunk at the time of the incident, despite what the press initially said.

Yet again i find myself leaving this message ! How insensitive the above comments are from Tracy Dean and Mike Williams !! UNLESS YOU KNEW THIS FAMILY’S BUSINESS AND CIRCUMSTANCES INSIDE OUT YOU SHOULD KEEP RIDICULOUS COMMENTS TO YOURSELF, TALK ABOUT JUDGE AND JURY !
Is Mr WILLIAMS Mr Hogans family doctor ? No i dont think so !! Was Tracy Dean on holiday with the Hogan family ? NO i dont think so - so they have NO idea what really took place and nor has anybody that wasn’t there !! PLEASE KEEP YOUR OPINIONS to yourself especially on public websites. Comments like these do not help and only add to the pain.

Thanks Jason - your input is appreciated. All people on this website are welcome to their opinions, and I’m not going to censor them for that.
I would, though, ask for people to consider the impact of any comments they might make on this site before they post them.
As Jason has, rightly, pointed out this is a very sensitive issue involving people very close to home. Put yourself in their position before you leave comments here.

well I am so sorry for upsetting mr jason smith but seeing as It is all splashed out in the papers perhaps you should have a go at all them instead of me a mum of a 6 year old too whos heart is broken for little Liam!

Hi Tracy. I think everyone’s heart it broken for the family.
Just remember some of the stuff said in the papers is often later retracted. The alligation that John was drunk was later denied by Natasha who said he was sober in a statement through the police.

Let me just set the record straight ! I am not upset personally by the remarks of Tracy Dean or Mr Williams, i do not know the family involved and therefore i keep my opinions to myself(everyone will have some opinion on the matter). I think it a little insensitive on the behalf of those that make comments purely on “facts”(used loosely) that they have read in National newspapers - we all must agree that these papers juice up articles because thats what sell papers. They unlike your average ‘joe bloggs’ have the appropriate lawyers/law dept to cope with slander allegations. They also have the ability as often seen in newspapers to retract FALSE or misleading statements which have been made public. A word to the wise think it through before you write it and tap the submit button, IT MAY JUST BITE YOU AT A LATER DATE.

Tracy,
Don’t take it personal !!! I’m not aggressive at all and i don’t think my comments read aggressive. Please take them in the context they were intended !
Jason.
