Did he cause any sort of public/private nuisance to his neighbours? If not, wouldn't this be a serious violation of his right to privacy, even if he was on drugs? If he did cause nuisance, well then it serves him right.

So many artists are only artists for name only.they have no manners,not polite,not inteligent, most famous lankan singers died due to alchoholism.birth luck with good voice and talent destroying by bad habits like gambling,drinking and empty arrogance.this kind of fools must punish properly to learn how to live with society.

Seriously feel very sorry about all who commented on this. We know him as an artist even if we are out of country. If you don’t know him don’t criticize him. everyone has different problems. The limit of the bearing capacity also different. Will Try to help him if he needs any help to recover since he has an elegant voice. No one has right to say right or wrong.

As of my view, these kind of things should not be a news. We should respect his privacy. Ordinary Sri Lankan " Paparazzi"
