Holy shit. I just watched Goodfellas this evening with my mom. Neither of us has cable news or anything so we didn't know about this, and when I went over to hang out she asked if I wanted to watch a movie and out of everything available, Goodfellas just popped into my head. After the movie I was like "I wonder what Ray Liotta is up to" and come on here and see this.
Sounds like the guy didn't take care of himself, still jarring to hear about this.
This was also an extremely good movie. He's totally out of control and Kurt Russell's character is between a rock and a hard place trying to deal with him. See it if you haven't because it's damn good.
