I'm not sure what to do with this information at this point. I guess the options are:

1. Still count her as a wild card for all purposes.
2. Only count her death for wild card purposes if she dies of something not drug related. This is the rule for concealed illness (wild card pick that had an undisclosed illness does not count as a wild card if that person dies of the undisclosed illness but does count if death is, for example, in a car accident).

If a wild card is disqualified from wild card contention, any death would still count towards the picker's overall death pick total (and of course pride points would still be available), but the death would not entitle the picker to any portion of the wild card prize.

What do you guys think? I am leaning towards option 2 above.


ETA: you can either post a response in this thread or PM me your thoughts.
Undisclosed? Don't we know it's been a problem for a while? How does rehab change it? Although drug use isn't a disease, any more than fatness is. What's next, perversion, thus disqualifying michael jackson?
