I had kind of expected something along those lines.

A drug and booze problem certainly explains a lot about how this "immense" talent never fulfilled his potential and whose final act was tragedy.

Maybe his car running out of gas (assuming that part is actually true) saved some other lives. Gil Brandt was destroyed for his comments being tone deaf, but he might have been pretty accurate even though the number-retiring fanbase didn't want to hear it.

What stood out to me is there was 2 separate wakes because his parents never met his wife.

Why is it called “legally intoxicated”? Shouldn’t it be illegally intoxicated? Legally intoxicated would be under .08.

A female companion in the car, too

As far as what I read he was walking to get gas. I don't think it's illegal to be intoxicated above .08 if you are walkiing. It's illegal to drive a vehicle in Florida. So by law he was over the limit, but 'at the time' of his death was doing nothing illegal. Semantics of course.
Also, a legal term which could have implications elsewhere, such as, life insurance, contracts, etc.

Not to be a prick, but it’s possible he was jaywalking. That would be illegal.

Yes. If he had done some 'jay's' as well as those things listed, he'd be guilty of jaywalking; but, only if it was recreational and not by prescription. Semantics of course. Not to be a prick.

He was hit on I 595. The I stands for interstate. I am pretty sure it’s illegal for a pedestrian to cross any interstate

He actually had Special K (Ketamine) in his system.

So my point stands then. He was jaywalking.

My daughter is a junior at nyu. She tells me special K is very popular these days

 

[JWB389]

Didn't it happen at like 7:00 on a Saturday morning? That is is some hard partying from the night before.

 

[MrTailgate]

I always tell myself in these cases that the person involved was someone’s friend, husband, father, son, etc. So nothing but sadness for those who are impacted by his passing regardless of circumstances. RIP and condolences to his loved ones, it’s such a shame.

No. There's nothing wrong with someone of legal age being intoxicated. It's not illegal to be intoxicated. What's illegal is doing certain things, while being intoxicated, and that determination of what is and is not intoxication is a legal definition ... so, "legally intoxicated."

They mean the cereal. Today’s youth are health-conscious.

Same difference.

I allegedly blew a 0.11 walking in Iowa when the limit was 0.10 and was cited for public intox. Funny thing is the deputy showed me and 3 other LE folks the breathalyzer reading 0.00 before I blew, but never showed anybody else the final reading. Also, they didn’t take the reading on the street but rather at the station 40 minutes later. I had just chugged the last 16-20 ounces of our pitcher at last call, so even if the 0.11 was legit I was probably 0.07 or so when they first flagged me.

I quit drinking for 10 years after that, thinking they wouldn’t try that crap when I was 0.00.

Iowa is the worst state in the union.
