Same here, but I have been told what a wonderful man he was - did you know he gave a liver that was about to be transplanted into him to a ten year old child who needed it (or maybe 12 year old) ...the legend just grows and grows.

Why was he in an orphanage for the first 5 years of his life?.  After that he lived with both his parents, for a few years at least.

His mother a strict Seventh Day Adventist.. why did she put her baby son in an orphanage and leave him there for 5 years?

He was afraid of his mother. "When I was born my mother said that I was not a gift from God, things went downhill from there. My mother was a devout Seventh Day Adventist who placed religion above anything else … I had no mother. She was devoted to her church and that was it, and you were either with her or against her," he told ABC TV's More Than Enough Rope .

It sounds like the mum had some mental health concerns.

Why not leave him in the orphanage? Seems strange to bring him home when he was 5 yrs old.  A real orphan baby/toddler might have been adopted out by the age of 5.
