“There was a moment when I went on social media, and I felt as if I was getting eulogized,” said Smolal. “I felt as if I was dead, and I was alive to see – and the people who were saying were so kind, but it was too much for me.”
“This made me very uncomfortable, embarrassed me very much. It made me feel very spectacular,” he continued.
Later, in the documentary, Smallet attempted to stop the questions roaming around the dispute time, in which he refused to hand over his phone to the police, which he said he also asked to hide his drug use, as well as walking around 2 am. He claimed that he “always did so.”
