Coroner Report Confirms Dr. Dre's Son Died From Drug Overdose http://www.eonline.com/ub...eroin.html
Doctors have weighed in on the death of Dr. Dre's son. Twenty-year-old Andre Young Jr. died of an accidental overdose of heroin and morphine, according to a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office The case was subsequently closed after the young man's death was ruled an accident. Young's mother, Jenita Porter, found him unconscious in his bedroom in their Woodland Hills, Calif., home on the morning of Aug. 23. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Porter told authorities her son had been out with friends but that she heard him snoring in his room at around 5:30 a.m. "Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time," Dre's rep, Lori Earl, said at the time.   "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

It's so trippy how something like this, which has changed their lives forever, can be so easily forgotten by others & the world just keeps spinning when someone elses stops...
All that to say I'd forgotten that his son died. Drugs ain't cool...    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

How do they know it's accidental? They can't. If he was snoring at 5:30 am when did he take the heroin and morphine? Was he unaware that they are they same drug? Maybe he thought he was mixing two drugs like heroin and cocaine with realizing he was double dosing. Or he wanted enough to make sure it was a one way trip. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Wow, yeah, let's turn a 20 year old's tragic death into yet another race thing. 
It was sad when Heath Ledger died and it's sad that this kid died. Period. | |

Maybe he thought he was mixing two drugs like heroin and cocaine with realizing he was double dosing. Or he wanted enough to make sure it was a one way trip. What his mother heard tragically was her son's death rattle. Opium's are very dangerous and can be lethal when taken the first, second, third time. If your buying and using this stuff off the streets, you don't know what the heck you taking, how it's been cut or the purity of it. The New York Times reported a rash of teenagers/young adults across the county dying from taking prescription morphine. They weren't abusing the prescription.... it just the doses prescripted were too much and they slept on away from here. [Edited 1/3/09 8:34am] | |

But teens and twenty somethings are immortal don't you know. And adults are just full of hyperbole trying to scare folks . . . . I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

That's like comparing somebody that slits their wrists to somebody blowing their own head off. The point is that there were issues there that led to self-destructive behavior and ultimately death. Ledger was an adult and it doesn't take a pharmacist to know that if you mix all of those drugs you're in for trouble. His death was no more of an accident than Dre's son's was (from what we know). |

Morphine's easy to get, a well connected drug dealer, has suppliers deep inside hospitals for that type of stuff. thats how I (my former dealer) use to get my Codeine I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

Whether it was what we call a conscious decision or not isn't the point. They both killed themselves and it was equally sad. 
It's a useless exercise trying to determine the degree to which they actually wanted to die. I'm not looking for an excuse to feel less sorry for one over the other. |

Ok when your downing deppressants and pain medicine, your trying to get by... In hollywood, alot of people do it... especially since Heath Ledger was Bipolar, But when your doing non otc opiates like morphine... ok you may have somewhat of a death wish... lord knows when i was speedballing, I wanted to die but basically your trying to get high... I don't condone drug use, prescription or non prescription But i'm aware they are two entirely different sittuations So don't go lumping them into the same pile I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

It may affect the purity possibly but addiction is addiction. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

They are not two different situations. One drug to get by and another to get high? Are you abusing one and not the other? People don't speedball because they are contemplating suicide . . . Their situation may depress them and they use drugs to cope with reality, but people who get high to kill themselves tend to use alcohol and a car. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |
