Default random thought on suicides

so backstory, this kid i grew up with killed himself last night, way back we were all friends and he was close with us. post high school he turned into a major douche. Always drunk or high, always out driving drunk, thought he was untouchable because his dad was friends with the chief of police ... got into harder drugs. basically a lot of us stopped even hanging around with him. his parents let him do whatever, he still lived at home at the age of 25, no real job, tons of debt, constantly on something. lately its been pain killers

anyways suddenly everyone is all sad and "in disbelief" that he went and killed himself and here i am 'the asshole' because
A. i don't feel sorry for him, his family maybe but def not him
B. my first reaction was, well i'm not surprised
C. i'm not feigning sorrow in the least bit, i was like oh thats nice to know and went on with my day

i don't see why i should feel sorry for someone who wasted his life on drugs and alcohol and then offs himself.

agree? disagree?
