Location: Texas | LRQHS - 2014-02-04 9:27 AM I liked him in Cold Mountain. He was a good actor. They said they found him dead after he failed to pick his children up though. Sounds like he was getting high before going to get them.
I was thinking it was a little more expensive than that.
Who knows why they cut it with something else? Is it to weaken it? Always wondered why the "cut" drugs with something else....
I thought they cut it with stuff to make it go further. You have the really pure crap, but junkies will buy it no matter what you put in it... so cut in some stuff and tada doubled/tripled/or quadrupled your profits.
That is my guess, I don't know much about heroin. I could ask my aunt though. |

Sounds like they cut it with whatever they have lying around. That is some scary mess there. |

I thought I had heard 70 bags but maybe I wasn't listening very well. I'm thoroughly disgusted on how the media is going on and on how wonderful this man was, so looked up to, amazing actor.....please. He OD'd. He had the stupid needle still stuck in his arm. What an idiot.
That's what's so annoying...people calling this "devastating" and "heartbreaking". HE DID THIS TO HIMSELF!! No, I don't want to see people die, but I can't exactly feel sorry for them when it's self-inflicted and 100% avoidable. |

Location: MD | Actually, you have to cut a drug with something. In it's purest form, it would kill a person the first time they used. As for it being sad, nobody is asking anyone to feel sorry for someone because they OD'ed. The compassion and sympathy that one might have is for the fact that a soul has become so lost. |

| It sucks that actors/actresses use illegal drugs. It is sad that the authorities don't punish these abusers more. It is sad that famous people's lawyers can get them off with a misnomer if they do get caught and rehab is voluntary.
As it really sucks for the children left behind. Prayers to his children and the other children left without a parent due to the drug overdoses. |

| I was watching one of the addiction reality shows and I don't know if it was crack or heroine but the users all had trash cans and plastic bags ready because the drugs made them throw up over and over again. It is sad that the addiction is so powerful that they will put themselves through that. As others have said, prayers for the children and family left behind. Prayers others learn and don't go down that road. |
