He died from an overdose of insulin after a long struggle with diabetes and addiction to anything and everything he could use to change the way he felt. My recent book, "Why Whisper?" is in editing and hopefully published, though that's a crap shoot. I have been committed to this book for the reasons you spoke of and know that our society today is suffering with the hush of addiction. Codependency and addiction are both responsible for the deaths of addicts. No accident indeed! Addiction defies Pavlov's proven theory. No matter how many times consequences re appear, addiction laughs in the face of probable results. I am never going to be able to resolve my son's death but hopefully my truth as a mother will be a voice that makes sense to the people who can't make sense of addictions. This includes the PhD's and the shrinks and last but not least the kids who think the ride is worth the fall. Thanks Joanne My 32 year old son is dead.
