It's pretty sad really. The kid was 25. Had a 2 year old daughter and getting his life off in a pretty good start giving his situation.

Now before i tell you what happened I don't want anyone saying that hes a bad person or anything like that.

He passed away because of a drug/drinking issue. The story i was told was that he was smoking weed that had been laced with either cocaine or embalming fluid (i dont know which) From what i understand he dident know it had that stuff in it (its common practice for dealers to lace it in order to up the addictiveness to it) After he smoked it he ended up drinking which caused some kind of chemical reaction that stopped his heart. It is really sad though because he was a really nice dude we wernt best friends but we chilled every now and than. Its tough because one of my good friends from highschool died around this time last year. I also feel bad for his daughter cuz he was one of thoes young fathers that did participate in his kids life.

RIP dave.

Sorry to hear that PK, it's really a shame, and I feel aweful for that little 2 year old girl especially.

His family is lying to you though... there is no such thing as a chemical reaction between laced marijuana and alcohol. It sounds to me like he was using heroine and that's what caused a heart attack. It's VERY common with heroine usage.

I concur.
A damn shame though, whatever the cause.

I know people like to call this sort of thing "accidental overdose", but if you engage in a very risky habit as illegal drug use, you are bound to know that not many people make it to a ripe old age.

I hope the daughter he left behind will find a good father to help raise her and be there for her as a good father should be.

But knowing that the mother had the kid out of wedlock and her choice of a drug addict impregnating her doesn't bode to well for the future welfare of the child.

Damn!!!! I just hate it that our society is in this constant vicious generational poverty circle that we can't seem to break.

"The story i was told was that he was smoking weed that had been laced ..."

And, there you have it.

Sorry it happened, but I hope he had life insurance--for his daughter's sake.

Agreed.

So sad. Due to his actions, his daughter will never know her father.

We dident hear that from his family.. theres a couple rumors floating around about it. My buddy saw him the night he passed and said he looked pretty tricked out on somnthing. who knows I dont think he was into thoes kind of heavy drugs. i also heard a story involving pills and alcohol but i dont know 100%

Sorry for your loss and to me it doesn’t matter why or how. You lost a young friend that is a shame.

Sucks that it has to be so hard (and illegal) for people to escape reality. Seems that's what most are trying to do.

Worst part is, there ARE ways, non-dangerous, non-poisonous, ways, but they're illegal.

Lines are drawn, one chemical's ok, but another is not.

Shame.

So many are left feeling miserable, lost, detached. Not everyone can find solace in old books. Not saying everyone's seeking a spiritual experience when they 'take' something, but many are, when you peel away the layers of BS and see what the root of their 'suffering' is...

I still remember Len Bias, stopped cold right at the cusp of success in his life by cocaine. Triggered an arrhythmia that killed him.

Sorry for your loss. Sucks to lose friends. Really does...
