man, at my school kinda same thing happened.
the kid actually had left our school, cause he was getting pretty heavy into drugs and not doing school at all, but i knew him, we played basketball together and were pretty tight when we were younger, but i hadnt talked to him for like 3 or four years. then one day my friend (also played with us) calls me, tells me he died.
turns out it was from a oxycotin overdose. really sad shit, kid was like a white ODB kinda, was really smart, buut was not gonna let anything stop him from doing his thing. he was even gonna go to rehab the next day, and was actually stolked to get his life back on track, but i guess his last fix was just too much.
i went to the wake, and saw his body, and was like man, wtf, a life so full of potentiel can get destroyed by one simple thing, and when i say his best bud standing beside his coffin, i have never really seen a man look so defeated, like his soul was just crumpled. i know his buddy too, and usually he is the strongest kid. he looked like nothing else mattered. that was the most depressing thing i have witnessed in my life.
