Was surfer Andy Irons death benzo-related?...


[9c...]

Recommended Posts

This is old news because the autopsy findings weren't made public until months after his death and then they released them without any fanfare.

This article would be relevant if he was taking Xanax and methadone together and it came up on my search for his autopsy results.

It's so depressing to see all of these young, talented people get taken out by these stinkin' drugs.  >:(  :'(  I also can sympathize with his wife and family.  It's not fair that he would be portrayed as a drug addict when he was probably prescribed the xanax.  It's been one of my biggest fears...that my hub would be seen as an addict and have his reputation ruined and the docs come out smelling like a rose. >:(

Hi Puffin:

 

Interesting stuff.

 

I just saw your name and remembered I have been wanting to say hello to you after ages have passed since you wrote about your husband's to me on another thread.

 

I just posted a thread on general support about my sensitivy to noise etc, and I also updated my blog in Buddy Space (which was moved some months ago elsewhere on the site). I am going through a bad patch and am down about it...but it will give you some idea about where I am . Hope the hubby is faring ok. My thought are with you both.

 

Nuala  :)
