Very sad. Looks like heroin claimed another one. :(

He was in Ghost World? I love that film but can't think of his role in it (??)

[Michael]

[JohnG]

heroin is especially a tough one. :(

He was the young guy who worked in the convenience store...who they loved to torment.

[Jay F]

Maybe he's happier now.

Who am I to judge?

[Michael]

Maybe he's happier now.

Who am I to judge?

yes, since we don't really know what happens we can only feel sorrow..

Yeah, his role was pretty light in Ghost World. I appreciated him more for Apt Pupil and Bully.

I just watched my DVD of Ghost World last week...

[Rachael Bee]

I never met him. He was supposed to attend a party I was at last winter but didn't show. This is so-ooooo sad!

[acjetnut]

Wow - terrible. I am about to turn 25... scary!

[nin]

Very sad. He was brilliant in Bully.

[shokhead]

They said he was either doing or was to start doing a movie.

[Sneaky Pete]

Very sad. Sorry to see he never had a chance to fulfill his potential.

[Jack White]

What a sad waste.

I think alcohol is worse than any of them. The article says he had a drinking problem. You see it time and time again, it's funny and cute when you are young and you fall in the pool or pee on your shoes, but after a few years go by, it becomes ugly and for some people that's to late to find that out.
It’s sad indeed.

[Butterfly Blue]

This is so sad. He was young, cute and talented. I wish he could have straightened out his life. :(
Sad, sad, sad.

Heroin and alcohol is a particularly dangerous combination due to both causing the heart rate to slow down.

I think Joplin's overdose was caused by the alcohol in her system acting with the heroin to stop her heart....this is how experienced users die, as they haven't done more H than usual, but they aren't considering the alcohol's depressive effect as well...and their body just stops.

Here's a pic of him as Josh behind the counter in Ghost World
and that hilarious "Nunchuck Guy"
