Harry Reems "fetched up in Los Angeles, begging on the streets and sleeping in Dumpsters."

"He contemplated suicide, he said, but could not summon the nerve. In 1989 Mr. Reems, then living in Park City, Utah, stopped drinking with the help of a 12-step program. He converted to Christianity, obtained his real estate license and married Jeanne Sterret in 1990... [He] led a life of contented small-town obscurity in Midway, Utah, golfing, attending church and collecting Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia. He retained the name Harry Reems, he said in interviews, as a proud emblem of an odyssey he did not regret."

Harry Reems, the original male porn star, is dead at age 65.

Side questions: Have you ever seen "fetched up" used as it appears above? Is "Dumpster" a proper noun?
