The most chilling thing i

The most chilling thing i read online since 9/11 blog reports:
"Brandon Carl Vedas, 21, takes a mix of drugs (methadone, klonopin, etc) while in front of his webcam and chatting on IRC. He overdoses, and dies with the webcam still on." (from Overdose on IRC? @ metafilter. And - sadly - it's apparently not a hoax.) It reminds me of instances when i had to get my friends out of trouble, talk them out of drugs, alcohol and get them medical help. I cannot possibly understand how things can go *this* bad without anyone noticing (friends, family), and feel sorry for the parents of this guy. But also, i can't help but think of their tragic role in their child's death... i mean, there must have been signs... 360mp methadone??? I don't know. It's hard to read, and hard to digest.
