My significant other's cousin just passed away after a 25 year struggle with crack. He had been in and out of rehab time and again and just could not get past the addiction.
He made a little trip into NOLA to score some rocks and was shot in the back of the neck during the deal. It was a while before anyone found him and got him to a hospital. He was paralyzed from the neck down and from the neck up no longer had any real cognitive function. The decision to remove him from life support was probably the best thing the family could've done. He lived for eight more minutes and passed quietly.
Tragic, but he is no longer fighting his internal demons.
