Editing Adrian Lamo (section)

==Personal life and death==
Lamo was known as the "Homeless Hacker" for his reportedly transient lifestyle,<ref>{{cite magazine|author1=Kahn, Jennifer|date=April 2004|title=The Homeless Hacker v.

He also often wandered through homes and offices in the middle of the night, by the light of a flashlight.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2019/09/19/760317486/the-mysterious-death-of-the-hacker-who-turned-in-chelsea-manning|title=The Mysterious Death of the Hacker Who Turned in Chelsea Manning|website=NPR.org |publisher=NPR|access-date=September 20, 2019}}</ref>

Lamo used a wide variety of supplements and drugs. His wife, Lauren Fisher, called his drug use "[[body hacking]]". One of Lamo's preferred supplements was 'kratom' ([[Mitragyna speciosa]]), which he used as a less-dangerous alternative to opioids.<ref name=":1" /> In 2001, he overdosed on prescription [[amphetamine]]s.<ref name="mpalm03" /><ref name="jkahn04" /> After he turned in Manning, his drug use escalated, but he later claimed that he was in recovery.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/03/adrian-lamo-bradley-manning-q-and-a |title=Adrian Lamo on Bradley Manning |last1=Pilkington |first1=Ed |date=3 January 2013 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=10 September 2016}}</ref>

In a 2004 interview with ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]'', an ex-girlfriend of Lamo's called him "very controlling", alleging "he carried a stun gun, which he used on me". The same article claimed a court had issued a [[restraining order]] against Lamo;<ref name="jkahn04">

Lamo said in a ''Wired'' article that, in May 2010, after he reported the theft of his backpack, an investigating officer noted unusual behavior and placed him under a [[5150 (involuntary psychiatric hold)|72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold]], which was extended to a nine-day hold. Lamo said he was diagnosed with [[Asperger syndrome]] at the psychiatric ward.<ref>
