Kurt Sutter, the Creator of "Sons of Anarchy" spoke on seemed to have expected the outcome tweeting, "Not sure if folks know this yet, but Johnny Lewis (halfsack) died last night. The sad irony of it happening two days after Opie's death is not lost on me. It was a tragic end for an extremely talented guy, who unfortunately had lost his way. i wish i could say that i was shocked by the events last night, but i was not. i am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path. Yes, it's day or mourning, but it's also a day of awareness and gratitude. Sadly, some of us carry the message by dying."
