Got a call from a neighbor the other day that the Coroner's Van was in the driveway of my friend's house (lives up the street from me)... He was one of the local pharmacists in a small rural town. It wasn't a suicide, he had a loving wife and 3 small school age boys, and a successful business.
Initial coroner reports state that he was found dead on the floor with blood coming from his nose, beside him was a rolled up dollar bill with white powdery residue. This man was only 35, and physically healthy... I had no idea that he was sniffing cocaine. He was a good, kind church going man as well, and was very active in the community... the type of person who would go into the pharmacy at 2 in the morning to get somebody their medication if they needed it in the middle of the night.
Back when I was in college, I tried some coke... it was fun, but I never really took to it, I was too afraid of it when it made my heart beat wildly.
This stuff can kill you at any age and in no matter how good a shape you or your heart is in...
If anybody here is using cocaine... put it down! 3 small boys no longer have a daddy, and a young wife is now alone.
I guess I'm just venting here because it really makes me mad that this didn't have to happen, he didn't have to die this way so young.
