"Death Becomes Him": The Complexity of Death through Kobe Bryant

I know of Kobe Bryant. I know the titles, I know the 81 points, I know when he wanted to be called Black Mamba like in Kill Bill, I know the commercials, I have even said “Kobe!” when I shoot paper basketballs at garbage cans. I also know about the rape case, I know about Denver, I know about the trial, and I know about the arrest.  What is appropriate to say at these times? And why can’t we say the full story, the full complexity of humanity?
