Not quite Patrick. The death of Stuart Lubbock at Barrymore's house after a drug-laden gay party, failed to be solved. All the guests clammed up and Barrymore, whose antics had generally been tolerated by the media and public up until then, fell totally out of favour and has never recovered. An-ill-fated attempt to regain favour by appearing on Celebrity Big Brother last year created the same rejection. His arrest awakens the belief ( albeit so far unfounded) that he was implicated in the guy's death (found drowned face down in Barrymore's pool, full of drugs and sexually abused). The Cluedo photo is somewhat typical of the way such situations are so often tastelessly satirised.
