He had been drunk driving and flipped a car, some broken ribs and all scraped up. They wrote him a prescription and he checked himself out. When his "friend" awoke to find him dead the next morning. He was a good kid and had the world ahead of him. You never would pick him out of a crowd. No one could have guessed his issues and having talked to him early on might have saved him. Don't wait for signs of drug use, talk to them and more important... LISTEN. At the very least you will have made an attempt and that is better than looking back and had not.
