Drug overdose ... if it was something else, why bother keeping it a secret? ... like if it was a stroke or heart attack ...

You're probably right.

But I imagine he'd lose a whole lot of dough even if he suffered "just" a stroke or a heart attack. Tons of contractual obligations would've been cancelled accordingly so keeping whatever ailed him privy would've been logical.

Retired NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher, whose childhood inspired the 2009 film The Blind Side, filed a petition in a Tennessee state court Monday alleging Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him as the film portrays and accusing the family of tricking him into signing a conservatorship agreement, which allowed them to make millions of dollars on his story without paying him anything.

^ I've read before that oher has always hated the manner he was portrayed in that movie. He says the flick made him look like someone who can barely fend for himself due to a limited mental capacity.

Oher, 37, filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tenn., court Monday saying he only recently learned he wasn’t officially adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and that he was instead duped into a conservatorship, which allowed the family to rake in millions of dollars in royalties from the movie about his life.

But Sean Tuohy told the Daily Memphian that the claims have “devastated” the family.

Tuohy said the conservatorship was drawn up to ensure that Oher was eligible to play football at the University of Mississippi.

Tuohy is a booster at the school, and if Oher wasn’t part of the family, there could have been potential NCAA issues sending him there, Tuohy suggested.

“I sat Michael down and told him, ‘If you’re planning to go to Ole Miss — or even considering Ole Miss — we think you have to be part of the family. This would do that legally,'” Tuohy said.

“We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn’t adopt over the age of 18; the only thing we could do was to have a conservatorship. We were so concerned it was on the up-and-up that we made sure the biological mother came to court.”

Tuohy also dismissed the idea that the family profited handsomely from the movie.

“We didn’t make any money off the movie,” Touhy said. “Well, Michael Lewis, the [author of the book on which the movie was based] gave us half of his share. Everybody in the family got an equal share, including Michael. It was about $14,000, each.”

Tuohy sold his conglomerate of fast-food franchises for $200 million and took affront to the idea that he would want to profit off of Oher.

“I will say it’s upsetting that people would think I would want to make money off any of my children,” he said.

I wonder why is he only finding it out now that it was a conservatorship, after so many years. Something might have happened between them.

^ end of an era

I best remember best in Adam Sandler's happy Gilmore. His cameo there was hilarious and 1 of the film's highlights.
