Lacking any information, I’m going to guess they were guests at a party, the admission for which was the orange wrist band, where some toxic comestibles or inhalants were distributed.

My guess is a homo drug/sex party.

If the first man was dead, I’m wondering what symptoms the second man was displaying that was similar to the first man. Does that mean he was dead too?

Thanks to post 2 which seems to draw some reasonable tentative conclusions from very incomplete information.

My guess was that a University of Tennessee football party led to a mass suicide attempt, but post 2 is a much more modest interpretation of available “evidence.”

I can’t say I’be ever been to a house party where guests are given colored wrist bands to wear. Seems strange to me.

I live in suburbs of Pittsburgh. First I heard of this.

This is all over the local news this morning. Southside is a college party bar area.

Must be great to live in an apartment building where people are allowed to operate nightclubs.

Orange Band Bad!

Pittsburgh?

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I was born on the South Side, pronounced “Sahside” for all yins non-Pittsburghers.

It was a trendy area in the 1930’s, then became a slum zone. Now it’s trendy again.
