Isn't OxyContin the herion-esque drug?

Isn't OxyContin the herion-esque drug? Yep, it's what Rush Limbaugh went to rehab for. Also known as "Hillbilly Heroin". |

I can't stand this stuff. A person sees him motionless for several hours yet does nothing? |

It doesn't say on the Floor or anything Most likely he was on the Couch or in a Chair And if that were the case, you'd assume he/she was sleeping. You'd be hesistant to call 911 and create a big scene, only to find out your neighbor was just taking a nap. Even if you saw the person on the floor, it could be a nap, depending on the position of the body. Some time would have to pass with no movement before you'd think, "OK, this isn't right." |

They mention Ledger's death, which wasn't due to drug addiction (well, he did take a too big dose, but the medicines WERE prescribed to him by a doctor). Do we know if in Test's case, it was used illegally or prescribed? |

My diagnosis: a nasty fall....caused by BAD BABYSITTING!
What's with creepy neighbour watching him for hours? I don't blame her for not calling. From a distance, how could you notice if he was breathing or not?

If I remember correctly he was sitting upright on the couch, in a position that would imply he was just sleeping. That's why she waited till the next day to call the cops. |

I can turn around now and see my neighbour across the road sitting on the couch motionless, probably watching telly. I see this type of thing so much I don't even process it, the majority of people it their own home sit still rather than moving around. The neighbour watching him for hours perhaps knew something was wrong though, and we're reading just too much into their statement |

I never was a Test fan (Not that that's even relevant at this point) but that's sad. I have no sympathy for people who abuse drugs for recreational purposes, but these guys who get hooked on painkillers or just need them to function...I feel for them. I know what it's like to constantly hurt all the time, and it gets to a point where you'll do what you can just to get by. Assuming he didn't OD on purpose to off himself (Which I'm guessing he didn't, since the last things he posted online he seemed fairly happy in his blogs and such.) , it was an avoidable tragedy. Yet WWE chose to distance themselves from him...did they make the right choice in that?
Who knows. He wasn't their responsibility anymore. And they could very easily point out how they've, on more than one occasion, offered rehab to any current and past talents. But then again, maybe he didn't (Or didn't think he had) have a problem....

But then again, maybe he didn't (Or didn't think he had) have a problem.... He had taken the WWE's offer for rehab a few months before his death, so he knew he had a problem. Rehab just isn't the help I wish it was. WWE would have even put him threw a program when he was with them last after he failed his tests (no pun intended). It seems he knew he needed the help and got it but, couldn't over come. |

Oh he did? sigh.
Yeah. There is no easy quick fix in life, rehab included.

Sadly, I expected it was a drug overdose.
It's unfortunate these guys get hooked on the stuff even though it does make the pain go away...at least for a little while.

I think about their safety first, you see. No one is overdosing on my watch. Or getting naked. Unfortunately. |

I assume the reason she was watching him for hours was because he was a WWE wrestler. Looks like he died peacefully which is good. |
