Latest example of Darwinian forces...I've said it many times, it takes a person of exceptional consitution, character, intelligence and with a lot to live for to be able to use drugs effectively and live as a functional, productive, non-burdensome addict/user.

The hints are there...Elena mentions her begging him to go to rehab, no doubt after he couldnt get it up for the 173rd time and he nodded out in the middle of a chinese restaurant in his Moo Shoo pork...3am is a common time to croak from opiates, your normal urge to sleep combined with cumulative use throughout the day, along with nothing to distract you and keep you focused makes it easy to drift off forever. Oxycontin especially will sneak up on you since it is designed to be released slowly and even if you crush it up and you survive THAT dose, it still isnt absorbed all at once, so if you keep eating/snorting it all day it catches up with you.

Sure he was a nice guy, most people on opiates are fucking great to be around when they are dosed...the fact that he couldnt get himself straightened out enough for the benefit of his little one is deplorable, Elena used the word selfish and that is very appropriate. What will become of this kid now?? How about all you people who loved Danny address that? Fuck raising money for his funeral, dump his corpse in the pacific and raise some dough for his boy.
