I did not know hiim or his son or about any medical condition.

But usually - in those kinds of cases - a nurse or doctor will provide enough morphine - and medical cover - to prevent any endimnity clause from kicking in - or murder. He was - after all - a software developer - he looked to the future - and he knew their were other options available - like doctor perscribed morphine.

I am guilty of seeing this through my eyes - and I suspect Drew saw it the same way - why risk being called a murderer - why risk endemnity clauses that would prevent the family from collecting - why risk placing immediate family into the expense of out of two pocket burials.

They could have toured Yellowstone - went back home - and dosed prescribed morphine - and allowed Brent to "dream" about it as he left the "world".

It doesn't make sense. The only thing that makes sense is liability exposure to the park services and Drew's insurance carrier. You're from New York - you know money makes the corporate world spin. It just don't make sense - and Drew's family may need some defense from the "tongue chanters" in this thread who are commiserating him as a child murderer. That's all.

IF I thought he was a murder I would have said so - I would not be soap boxing grand eulogies for him.
