Got the call at 4:00 AM this moring about Brad's passing.

Unfortunately, I think it will be found that this man was having a brain aneurysm, and sadly has passed away. He was a VERY young man, and leaves behind a daughter.

Hopefully, the drug overdose headlines were an incorrect observation on someone's part. Only an autopsy will say for sure. It would be a tragedy for this information that was posted in the newspaper to be wrong. I'm sure the family is already traumatized over the incident.

Condolences to all family and friends. :angel:

DAWGH8R... Was the age in the paper correct?

Very sad.

Dawgh8r... Thanks. The Inde said 26 but the Rep said 36. (I went to school with someone by that name that would have been about 36.)

Either way, very sad.

My bad, I quickly glanced. He is 36 years old. He graduated in '90, I believe.

Nice to see the Inde wrote a story stating Brad did not die of an overdose. Too bad it wasn't on the front page, tho.

I understand he was a friend or at least some one you knew from high school but what makes you think its worthy of front page news?

I believe it was front page worthy to the Inde when it was considered an OD.

Corrrections are usually in some little print on some odd page.... Not everyone sees them.

It didn't matter if I knew him or not (which I only did in HS). I would feel the same way if this was a stranger.
