Coping with Addiction
Patrick began drinking heavily after his father’s death and it only got worse with his sister’s suicide. Being in Hollywood, he also tried indulging in drugs, once in a while. After the actor’s death in 2009, his wife Lisa opened up about Patrick’s alcohol addiction problem. According to Lisa, the actor became a drastically different person whenever he was intoxicated. It was only his wife that Patrick got his support from, so when she decided to leave him in 2003, he finally entered rehab to sober up and straighten his act.
