So, where did things go wrong?

Chandler explained Carter developed schizophrenia later in life and had a history of addiction.

"He attributes the end of his collegiate career to an intoxicated accident in which he severely damaged his hand and lost his drawing ability and with it, his passion and his major," Chandler said. "His hope for a degree was replaced with destitution, disability and dependence, a fateful combination that left Carter on the street, just as it does to so many other homeless individuals."

 

Art major, huh?  He'll be back on the streets in no time.

 

(cool story, though)
