just got a call from my cousin that my cousin eric is in a coma and only has a few hrs to live. he went into a coma via a heroin overdose. i dont know how to feel right now. i know dude made the choice to buy and use the drugs but i cant help but be angry and dad. he had so much potential. he was accepted into university at age 12. he had a hard life. his poor excuse for a gf ran away after he collapsed and hasent been seen since.

On the open boards or via pm, you have my eyes and ears for you to share your thoughts. Your cousin got the tough break everyone warns of. Take good care of those near to him and take real care of yourself too.

just an update. looks like we were given some false info. eric is still alive and his heart is beating on its own. not happy with whoever jumped the gun and gave us this info upsetting both of our families.

I must admit I thought it was a bit shit to be making a RIP thread when the dude hadn't even died, glad to hear the positive news though.

^ boner when i made the post i was pretty upset and was told he had absolutely no chance of survival. someone jumped toe gun with the info to say the least.

Cantona, Even though he will survive, he may need alot of rehab and still may not be the same mentally. You all have to be there for him to help him recover. good luck and Im glad he didnt die.

thanks for the kind words folks. drs did a brain scan a few days ago and there wasn't much activity. not sure what this means or whats going to happen but it doesn't seem to be good obviously.
