Chapter 8

Perhaps the most tragic event in Lance’s life was the suicide of his mother. Trina Bangle failed to be mentally stable and consumed many prescription drugs for a balance. Stone believed schizophrenia could have been easily diagnosed had the woman been psychologically analyzed, as well as other psychological disorders.

Because of Trina’s mental condition and the unstable and aggressive marriage with Stone’s brother, the woman became powerless, insane, and eventually hung herself in the spring of 2011. Stone had found her dangling from the bedroom ceiling in his brother’s Malibu beach house, swinging to and fro with a snapped neck, a purple and yellow cadaver that could no longer be considered anyone’s mother. Trina offed herself as quickly and quietly as her son had taken to the streets.
