Caminiti Overdosed

Ken Caminiti's autopsy determined he died of a drug overdose, with
coronary artery disease and an enlarged heart being listed as contributing
factors.

What a disaster to a life. Every time I hear of someone who dies of a drug overdose, I ask the same question: What went wrong? I'm sure for each person it is different overall, but there must be a tying factor in each of their lives.

A couple weeks ago I attended a wake for an eighteen year old son of a friend who died of a drug overdose. This was the first time he experimented with drugs and he received a lethal dose.

If you are someone who is using, think twice! You're playing russian roulette with your life. Your next hit, sniff, or injection may be your last.
