"Yes. Tragedy. Died of heroin overdose."
My mouth fell to the floor,
Then I fell off my chair like this... PLONK Several of us, including myself, RainbowWarior (AKA Technador AKA Silly) and Ratgirl, did our best to quell that very rumor!! I was a close friend of his, and Rainbow was even closer. In fact, Rainbow is STILL in touch w/his mom to this day, and I can tell you all first hand that he died of exhaustion due to over 60 hours of straight playing the game.It burns me up
that people would just as soon spread rumors than look for and talk about the truth. We posted all over many forums pleading w/people to NOT spread rumors about his death and wait for the autopsie report. AND we begged people to believe that he did NOT die of drugs... this Rainbow and I knew from the start. Yet, some people would choose to slander his good name in vicious rumors. I am so angry 
that i could just explode!!The person who said this last night was a victem of the rumor and not one who would maliciously tell lies me thinks. To all you who are victems of this rumor, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stop the rumor in it's tracks. To those of you who are the culprits in starting this rumor
and trashing his name without a clue of what you are talking about... I have no words for Lamers and Scum like you.Chaz was one of the nicest Fraggers and Friends I ever knew.. and he was NOT on drugs at the time of his death. Whatever he done in the past, I can tell you all that he gave up the drugs and his death was purely due to exaustion from trying to break his record of straight playing. Please, let's kill this rumor and remember him well. And let's be careful about not playing for too long a time w/out rest!!
So sad that people can be so mean!!
