Which means they were junkies and there family and others would prob know about it. From all the reports and people that knew them they were never known for drugs. Its a lil tough for mid 40 yr old junkies to keep a family together if you ask me. One even had started his own company I think. Not your typical junkies.

On the other hand, if they knew, they wouldn't be sharing it.

I'm not trying to slander these guys. I think this is fishy as hell. Just playing devils advocate.

Update
There has been some really bad heroin killing people allover the world. It's the same bad batch that killed Phillip Seymour Hoffman and many others in the USA the past few months. Bad time to be a heroin addict. Not that anytime is good but you're double fricked right now it seems.
quote:
One day after Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his apartment, police are looking into whether his apparent heroin overdose is linked to a lethal batch of the drug that recently arrived on the East Coast.
As noted by Raw Story, law enforcement agencies have spent the last month pursuing batches of heroin laced with fentanyl – a powerful painkiller – that have been deemed responsible for dozens of deaths in multiple states. The deadly drug cocktail has made its way east from Pennsylvania, and has been detected in states such as Maryland, New York and Rhode Island.
Fentanyl is approximately 80 times more powerful than morphine and “hundreds of times more potent than heroin,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When combined with heroin, the drug could potentially lead to a severe and lethal attack on the human respiratory system.

If it wasn't Heroin they died from then my bad. Just weird to see both OD on the same drug at the same time unless it was this lethal batch that has been going around.

I'm so glad that heroin wasn't around back in the day when I dabbled in drugs. I haven't touched anything in years but there was a time when I wouldn't turn down anything in front of me. So glad that I didn't have to deal with the dangerous shite on the street these days.

I'm not trying to slander them either, I'm sure these guys were top frickin notch.
At the same time, they don't call combat being in "the shite" for nothing. It's hard work and I can guarantee you a lot of these guys are eaten up by the shite they've seen when they come back. PTSD is no joke, neither is drug addiction. I know because I've dealt with both, personally and with friends.
One of my guys locked himself in a little basement area we called "the arsenal" and begged the cops to come in and get him. He had his own oxygen tank and SCBA in there and was gonna gas them as soon as they walked through the door and then fight it out. Thankfully we were able to talk him down and get him some help.

I employ an ex heroin addict and the stories he has told me are scary as frick. This lethal batch killing so many people make it much more scarier but there is never anyway to know what the drugs you are using are cut with. It isn't limited to heroin obviously which is the best reason not to do drugs IMO. You just don't truly know what you are putting into your body.

I knew him and he was a great guy. I never knew him to do any kind of drugs. Something seems fishy. RIP Mark.

Sorry, I screwed the post up. Not directed at you.

I'm medically retired, and that's a large reason.

Just making shite up now, but maybe they were involved in the smuggling trade, either actively participating in it or by seeing something they shouldn't have. Not hard to dispose of someone when most of the guys on board are Filipino guys just wanting to make some money and get home.
Or they were junkies.
Or the police are idiots.
Many different things are possible.

A lot of people are moving to heroin now because they've been cracking down on pain pills and because it's cheaper. There's a lot of kids putting needles in their arms these days, a lot dying too.
That's another thing...
It's also possible these guys had a problem with pain pills and then got sent out to Africa and either ran out or couldn't get them in-country. If you're withdrawing from pain pills and someone offers you some heroin, who knows what you might say. Inexperience could have done them in as well.
