I had a high school buddy put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger a few years ago. I would have never thought he would do that, but he did. I didn't know Drew, but I did know my buddy.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories circling around UT for a variety of things, the ruling of Drew's death included. I think it is easier to blame some sort of conspiracy than question what you thought you knew.

>But that's one of my points - though unspoken - that we don't know what someone is thinking. I took just enough psych in college to realize that no matter how well you think you know someone, you only think you know them. Think of yourself and all those thoughts you have. Be honest, does anyone really know them, regardless of how close they are to you. The only one who really knows you is you.

>>As Hugo points out, there was a lot of discussion about it here at the time the story came out. The overwhelming reaction among those of us who DID know Drew was that he would not have killed himself or killed Brent along with him. None of us knows for sure, of course, but the official finding just didn't fit with the person we knew. I was quite irritated that such an official finding was announced without more evidence.

>>>I thought that the first time I heard about it. Not knowing any of them personally, it was the most likely conclusion I thought based on the information at the time. Life is fragile; it sucks that he came to such a place in his life that he thought it was the only solution. Money. Relationships. Work. Chemicals. Who knows what fires that synapse that pushes a mind down that path. Very sad.
