"What I found interesting was his tirelessness," King wrote in his last column. "I'd be there at 10, 10:30 at night, and I'd be nodding off after a long day, and he was buzzing. Turns out a few months later we knew the reason for the buzzing. He spent 72 days in a drug clinic in Kansas City to get off Vicodin.
