“He said to me he has no hope for living no more because his wife and daughter are dead.”

Heiser says his 68-year-old brother actually lives in that truck seen in the video when he can’t afford a motel room. He pays for the room with loose change.

“Everybody thinks there’s something underlying, like he lives in a mansion. There’s no mansion, he’s lost everything,” says friend Latasha Miller.

Attack away, oh prescient judges of all men. The video's small minded, big mouthed "tattoo artist" videographer can be your leader.

No way was he living out of that truck. They showed the inside of the truck; brand new, clean, and there was hardly any personal property in the cab or bed of the truck.

I get homeless people living in their car. But if I became homeless and had an expensive car, the first thing I'd do is sell the car and (if necessary) buy a cheaper one.

Yea. Those Toyota trucks have M A S S I V E resale value. Hell, the used 2009. Models are still going for $35k CAD. He could buy he could buy at a minimum 7 used minivans. Which would suit him far better for living than that.

That would be a smart decision. But if your family are destroyed, and you get some tasty bit 'o mental illness you might not be so clearheaded and smart and strong. You have no clue what would be left of you to make decisions with.
