R.I.P. SWIM

[OpiGuRu729]

Im out of town at the moment im in salem, or (from cali bay area) but anyways, this morning one of my friends called me and told me that another good friend of mine who i grew up with and kicked it with and we went to school together... Well my friend told me that this morning (march 25 07) He was found dead in his bed he over dosed in his sleep on oc.... what a fucking shame... i feel really bad cuase he called me on the 24th like 5 times but i didnt get the calls... i guess some people dont realize that oc can be dangerous and needs to be done in moderation... just be careful it wont stop me from doing my opi's but it's a wake up call for sure... well i just hope he's in a better place and i will never forget him...
R.I.P. My Good Friend
Your Friend,
Billy

I knew the guys as well..... hell of sad to hear about him. I was told he was on a crazy amount of differn't narcotics and uppers.... I only wish people would be more educated on the dangers of mixing the two. But thats what the fucking d.a.r.e. system did to us kinds of the 90's. r.i.p.

He was on Ecstasy, Mescaline, a bunch of generic football oxy's, like 10 xanax, and like 15 klonopins and a whole shit load of coke plus i think he was drinking... I hate that i missed His Funeral But I will pay my respects in the future... I just hope that he's found peace... R.I.P.

Death NEVER gets easier.

I'm saying this at the risk of sounding like a complete asshole..... so please don't take this the wrong way. But if he took all that stuff you said he did, that was more like a suicide than an overdose.

Euphoria is right.


Nonetheless, sorry about your loss.

While that IS a distinct possibility, is it also not just as likely, if not more so, that dude got so high and lost track of what he was taking? I know I've woken up before wondering how in the fuck I took all the pills that are gone from the bottles. I probably had fun, but it could just as easily have been TOO MUCH.

At any rate, sorry for swims luck. People dying sucks, however you look at it.

It beats a death by drowning.. for swim at least. Sorry for the inappropriate humor, but I have always been told that I resort to humor as a defense mechanism, so there you have it.

[euphoria2002]

Sure I'll admit it's possible. That being said, you've got 2 possibilities. He took most of it all at once, or he took all that stuff over a period of time.... let's say a few hours.

If the first case holds, it really does look like suicide. If the second case holds, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure he should have passed out before OD'ing.

There's also a third, until now unmentioned, possibility. The whole story is made up.... or highly exagerrated.

Opiguru, Sorry if it really did happen the way you said..... I was just trying to outline every possible explanation.

Exaggeration sounds most likely of all, honestly. I don't mean OP is lying necessarily, just the second hand information may not have been correct to begin with. I have trouble remembering what i took, as I said before, after a serious binge, and I would never presume to know exactly what one of my friends took. The day before I went to the PM doc last time, I got really trashed (err.. swim did, right?) and I know what I started with, and I know what I woke up with... I just couldn't tell you that I remembered taking em. It was probably fun as hell. I don't remember.:cool:

In all honesty, I can personally tell you OP is not exaggerating. We both know each other..... both knew SWIM in question....we both live in the same, very small town....can't get into much more detail than that. While OP was much closer to him than I, still very sad. Someone had told me that swim was pretty depressed, and that it was possible that he MIGHT have been trying to commit suicide. I however cannot put truth to that. I hope he's in a better place.

[euphoria2002]

Yeah, sooner or later we're all gonna end up in "a better place". Sucks.

If I could have just one wish, it would be immortality. I find the inevitability of death to be depressing.

Can't you imagine how god damned BORING living forever would be? After watching the universe die... what else is there? We are talking about forever here.. Thats a long freakin time. Living forever looks good on paper, but I would think even that would get old eventually (pun quite intended, thanks)

To the other post.. I'm not questioning anyones truthfulness. My point was, is it not possible that the OP got incorrect information, since he was not there?

[MetalJake]

Sorry to hear this opiguru, my aunt is in the hospital as we speak and she is a DNR so we are just waiting for her son to get here from the Navy, the Red Cross had to track him down, he should be in sometime early morning. So hang in there and we are all her for you.

I would never ever wish to live forever..... i only want to live until a day before my fiance dies. You would watch every thing you love pass away... While I can't comprehend death (beyond human capacity) I embrace it and eventually look forward to it, as long as its a while away... but then again, whats time in the face of death haha? we ARE talking forever here.... or are we?... damn, i really have to stop trying to comprehend death... it's driving me nuts

p.s. I guess it is possible that OP is mis-informed on the exact amount of substances or a substance + or - but i'm pretty sure its about dead on. We're both good friends of people who stayed with him the night of his death

His parents told me what was found in his body... so i know it was all there but there could have been more or less i just say those amounts becuase the people he purchased it from told me how many he bought... he might not have taken all of them but thats what he had the numbers could be a little bit off but all these drugs are in the autopsy report... it is possible i could be off but the point was i lost a good friend... i dont care what he was on to tell you the truth... i just hate that he's no longer with us...

That, I can totally understand. And I'm sorry you lost a friend. That ALWAYS sucks. The whole direction the thread took regarding how much of what and whatever really was beside the point, and if I seemed insensitive, I apologize. My whole point was, if I have trouble remembering what I take and survive, then knowing exactly what someone took and OD'ed is near on impossible. The point, currently, is sorry if i came off as an insensitive dick, it really wasn't my intention, k?
