This is pretty common with heroin deaths. I know a guy that died about 2 years ago and the guy he was with supplied the heroin them left him after he OD'ed to go get more dope. The guy ended up dying and the other other guy was arrested for 2nd degrrr murder.
I read about another story where a boyfriend gave his gf some heroin and she OD'ed. He freaked out and was scared to bring her to the hospital or call for help. She ended up dying in his car and he was arrested for 2nd degree murder.

honestly, anyone on LSU campus who looks like that should be tipped to the police and watched like a terrorist while he is on campus.

Well, you just doomed your offspring to an eternity of heroin induced hell. You think it's intelligence or upbringing? Don't be that stupid or smug.

So these are the kind of people LSU partners with these days? Good Lord.

Something tells me that this Brian guy isn't anyone worth giving up. If he was, he wouldn't be as careless as he was. After all, he is bring heroin to his work place, which has cameras. Yes, they went into the bathroom where there are no cameras, but if anything goes wrong, which did, they are going straight to the cameras to see who was involved.
Not to mention, anyone interacting with the buyers are low on the chain. In fact, this Brian guy might be a user himself, but heroin is out of hand.

These are not the typical EA Sports workers you would think of. I used to be a vendor over there when they first opened up at LSU. A lot of the workers are young people who look like they live in their parents basement and look similar to that guy's appearance. Most of them make $7-$8 an hour and they just test video games all day.

Slackers and heroin dealers. LSU needs to end this collaboration ASAP

Uh huh. You're lucky you didn't OD too then.

How are you guilty of murder by someone ODing?
This is excessive overreach of the justice system.

Kinda presumptuous, IMO, without knowing what type of vendor Byrdybyrd05 was.
Of course - If Byrdybyrd05 had been a heroin vendor - I'm sure that detail would've been included in the post for extra validity.

Actually - It's excessive neglect by one human being in regards to another... which is why you will frequently see somebody charged with "Negligent Homicide" when a similar incident occurs in other jurisdictions.

Still, if a vendor sells alcohol to a drunk and they kill themselves/someone else they are not liable.

Wrong.
Depends on the state and what type of vendor is involved (a retail shop vs an "on-premises" establishment like a bar/restaurant).
38 States have some form of Dram Shop Law
quote:
Dram Shop Rule: A statute (Dram Shop Act) or case law in 38 states which makes a business which sells alcoholic drinks or a host who serves liquor to a drinker who is obviously intoxicated or close to it, strictly liable to anyone injured by the drunken patron or guest.
That includes liability for injury to or death of the drunken patron himself/herself. And like the incident from the OP - There is generally evidence of serious neglect/absence of reasonable duty of care whenever these kind of arrests happen.
ETA:
Louisiana is one of the states that DOESN'T have a dram shop law (not surprising...and I'm fine with that). Texas - BIG TIME focus on every detail of the state's current policies when you test for your individual Alcoholic Beverage Certification.

Yep. Used to work with a girl who had a longtime bf that tested games for EA. that's pretty much exactly how I'd describe him.
Dude would work 8 hours a day playing videogames, then come home and play videogames all evening. She constantly bitched about it.

You're either trolling or can't read not good. This would be like a "vendor" selling alcohol to a drunk, watching them collapse, and then dragging their body behind the bar as they choke out.
He's not being arrested for selling, he's being arrested for attempting to conceal the OD rather than help.

Some details from the full WFAB story linked...
I think this points to Brian providing some/all of the paraphernalia involved as well as preparing the "fatal" dose for the victim*.
ETA:
grammar fix
* because "victim" feels like it needs an asterisk.
Also - Louisiana law folks - How does the state charge somebody assisting a suicide? Just curious how that type of thing compares...
quote:
According to police, when Emergency Medical Services and officers arrived, they saw the man in the last stall unresponsive with a syringe stuck in his arm. They say there was a spoon and a lighter in the stall as well.
quote:
After identifying Brian, the victim told police he met Brian at the Digital Media Center, they both went in the bathroom to do heroin, and Brian was in the stall next to him.
