Do you think its POSSIBLE, that you might ever be so distraught that you MIGHT put your words together wrong?
Try pulling one of your best friends who's dead out of the ocean and having to speed on a boat for 30 minutes to get to help and then come tell me you'd be perfect in any speech you gave for the media.

Also to dlishsguy and eribrav:
If someone close to me had died, I would not be talking to the media. I would be mourning. He chose to speak to the media.
You're telling me I should care about the choice of words of a man whose priorities are 1. media, then 2. grieving?
Anyone with the media, until I was done and I decided it was time to talk, would be invited to fuck off and leave me alone.
People need to grieve, and the press needs to take a back seat to that. Poor Steve was still warm when this guy stepped in front of cameras.
Let me be plain:
NO ONE (outside of necessary law enforcement, which wasn't an issue, and the family)
has any "right" to your side of the story, your retelling of the events, or any info at all on what happened from your point of view or personally known by you. The press can wait until you're able to say what happened, after mourning. I don't care if that means the whole world goes two days just knowing he died without details.
I'm supposed to care about a guy whose response to the death of a person he calls a friend is to do interviews and press conferences and schedule guest appearances on TV shows? Fuck him. That's not a friend. Friends mourn first. Those are fucked up priorities.
Respect for the dead means letting those people who need to, grieve. We are so hung up on instant news of everything and have some odd thought in our minds that we have a right to get every last detail the very second it happens, that no one even cares that he chose press over grieving. He should have waited. Who's going to argue that?
