Eric did not hate him. It was a big misunderstanding. The young lad died while Eric was trying to help him. He was going thru a lot. I know Eric and Eric is not what people are speculating. He spoke well of Lashon. He is saddened by the whole ordeal. He himself was in a difficult dilemma when the gentleman expired prematurely from medication overdose it seems.ERic is someone dear loved one too, as Lashon was.
