It sounds like he was headed to this sort of death, anyway.

I don’t get it. Life is plenty fine without this stuff. This guy had a big bright future ahead of him.
I have a few beers a year. I don’t need that either, but it’s not going to put my lights out.
I’ve even considered stopping drinking.
These things are not essential to a happy life.

We knew some of his family members in California. Nice guy. Sad to see this happen.

That is my thinking.
How do you safely balance all of that, prior to a game? Fentanyl alone is dangerous.

Was the drug use to ease the pain of injuries, under medical care, or was it a stupid recreational CHOICE?

He died from about $10 in illegally gotten drugs.
There are so many healthy things to make you happy he will never experience, now.
It was is choice.

Sounds like he had a serious substance abuse problem. Very sad

And why, exactly do you find this so amusing?

Agreed.

I thought Post #2 was funny as hell. Is that OK with you?

Saw a report that said something to effect of family suspects an Angel’s employee was also involved?

I'm guessing that he got hooked on Oxy due to previous injuries. I used to take it for pain, and then it was easy to take the left-over pills when something was a little sore but I really wanted to sleep without waking up. I still have a bottle somewhere just in case my knee starts to act up. Although last year (?) when I took a pill it seemed to mess up my head more than help with the pain, so I haven't taken any since.
I think the fenteynol is a contaminant in some drugs - added (unbeknownst to the user) to spice up the effects.
