My condolences.... reminds me of my cousin, who died of a heroin overdose at a similar age.

Very sorry, UT.

I'm sorry for your loss, UT.

Thats horrible. I'm sorry.

I am sorry, UT. What a sad situation. :(

Sorry for the loss.

Once someone starts eating fentanyl or duragesic patches, they have progressed from mere junkie to stone junkie. The miserable piece of shit junkie will steal patches from a family member who is dying of cancer and really needs them for the pain control. I know several of these.

I don't know a lot of schizophrenics who also shoot dope, or smoke crack, or even drink excessively. For some reason that's not a common combination.

Overdosing, whether accidental or intentional is part of the cost of doing business as a heroin user. One thing that's also common is that the junk is getting mixed with some nasty stuff, including a frequently fatal heroin/fentanyl combination. We get warnings about this stuff being found on the street more and more.

Sorry to hear of your loss. An event none of us could wish on anyone but whose destiny often cannot be denied.

Sorry UT. I don't know what else to say

What a terrible tragedy.

My condolences.

my condolences UT.

I've lost 4 of my friends to drugs over the years, and several others very nearly so. It really sucks. I'm so sorry.

Thanks folks. The obit is here.
