Oh no!!!

Spare a thought for his family...his parents must be going through hell.
 
So sad to hear about things like this......it's going to bother you for a long time.
 
This may sound cold and heartless, but gdiza, it didn't happen to *you*. It's not *your* problem. This incident is not an omen or a foreboding. Why should it mean that you will have a bad year? Who knows, 2009 could be one of the best years of your life! Just remember that. :)

best thing todo and then move it. try to forget now about all the what ifs its not worth it trust me in the end you are just beating yourself up for things that you wouldn't have possible intervened in.
 
I saw of his 2 friends in the shop now and I had the horrible job of telling them that he was dead.

They thought it was a joke.
They haven't heard from him because their cellphone died (battery) and blah blah blah.

Sucked so much! :(
 
Shame - thats really sad. But then again we all choose the way we want to live our lives. You play with drugs you will get burnt.

Not nice for his parents though - they have to live with it.
 
I;m sorry bout drugs are stupid...
Kills you and you gain nothing in the end.
I'll touch alcohol, just occasionaly buy not get addicted..
 
Oh and yeah, its pretty tragic though, especially if you just spoke to the guy a few hours earlier
 
My NY for 2009 has started very kark.

This morning, I woke up to find my flat full of cops.

Seems my next door neighbour died of overdose

gdiza, you have my greatest sympathy for this loss.:(

+1. I don't have much sympathy for druggies. Perhaps it was a deliberate overdose? (suicide?) :eek:
 
gdiza... don't you think you should find out what exactly happened - because people here are now assuming this person that you knew and possibly respected used drugs to get high and died because of it. What if it was a planned suicide? What if he was drunk and took medication and the combination didnt work out so well?

There are lots of possibilities that could have happened and from what i've read here people are quick to say "arrr... Druggie!"

For you to feel as bad as you do (which isnt your fault), you must have liked or respected this guy to some extent. Druggie or no druggie, you owe it to him to find out, to get the right story. If it so turns out he was just a druggie who popped 1 pill or line too many, it doesnt make him a bad person, just a person with a problem that none of you have the right to judge!

Lets get the facts right, then discuss the problem! Either way its sad that 2009 had to start like this!

Now only if he had smoked a blunt...he would be alive today. I hate drugs, have sympathy for the users and hope the merchants all get burned alive ala Rashaad Staggie. Hopefully it wasn't smack or nose candy that killed him but an overdose of sleeping pills.

Natural selection, perhaps?

Harsh but true
 
I didn't say you don't feel sad ... it obviously hurts.

What else can you do?

OK, I get your point, it's just the "natural selection" theory that bothers me a bit. People today are getting older not because of good genes, but because of medical intervention. I feel that natural selection has, to some extent, been taken out of the equation by modern medicine. Who knows, maybe things like penicillin and bypass surgery are all part of nature's plan?
