His death will be investigated,coronor will say why he died. Hung with the wrong crowd. but did not deserve to die by murder or by drug induction. natural death. Thats life and the way it should be.

Yes, all of us have had bad days, but few of us have experienced grieving over a murdered child. My sympathies and thoughts are with you!\n\nWe all feel alone sometime, and we all try to deal with that in our own ways. Sometimes by endlessly seeking distractions, sometimes by facing our own fears, doubts, anxieties...\n\nBut life requires that of us. Growth is almost always uncomfortable and sometimes very painful, but it's pain for something, if we're honest, if we're true to ourselves and if we genuinely care about the meaning and effect of our lives.\n\nI would much rather experience the pain of facing myself... and accomplishing something of substance in my life... then run away from myself... and at the end of it all, look back and think... "What was it all for? What real difference did I make?"\n\nGood luck to you.

I was molested by my brother when I was 13 and while I would like to say yes, I can't. I've forgiven my brother since then, but my forgiving him doesn't mean that I've suddenly forgot about the entire incident or that I approve of what happened. I think this is not the corse to take. I do think that harsher penalties should be in place though. There was one case that I was watching on Court TV and this guy raped a minor and only got 6 months for it. That's a slap on the wrist. I don't this would be grounds for you to use the word murder though. These child molesters in a sense have murdered their victims, because I and many others will never be the same. I use the word murder because that is exactly what it seems like because they kill your soul and any hope you had for the future.

Lia, your parents HAVE TO KNOW first!! Please don't go meet him w/o asking them first!! He may 'seem' ok, but what happens if he were to convince you to go for a ride with him and he suddenly acted different and you felt defenseless?\n\nPLEASE don't let us be hearing about you on the local news!! Every single person you've heard about being killed all started off with someone who "Seemed nice & normal" but then things changed and their 'Animal' took over. PLEASE just ask your parents first!! :))

In the book written by John L Anderson he claims that Che was killed by a  Cuban Ameican CIA trianed individual named Felix Rodriguez. That book is very well reearched so I am proned to believe the author's claim. Do I think his death was justified?  He was rather ruthless at times, but that is not for me to decide. I guess you can say that by living the revolutionary life, he had to know his end would not be pretty. I will say this, he did not die a coward.

Sounds like he died fighting a good fight.  Good luck to you

I find it interesting that this has come up in the last few days, considering my roomate had just found Ben's website yesterday and sent me the link. First thing, he wasnt a man, he was a BOY who had been medicated with a drug whose long term effects on minors was not known at the time.I dated him about 6 months before his initial hospitalization,and dont get me wrong, he was a troubled kid, very sensitive to bad things in his life, but never aggresive towards me or others.\n I saw him the July before the murder at the park, this was after some extended time at Shepperd Pratt.....and he was completely off of his rocker...did the TRIPLE dosage of prozac affect this, absolutely. Was his judgment clouded that night, of course! Does it excuse what he did, not totally. He should have to serve time for his crime, but did he deserve life with no parole at 16 years of age? I know for sure...the whole situation breaks my heart. A life lost, a child without a mother, and a brilliant soul who couldnt see beyond his troubled youth,his life wasted behind bars.

Please keep Kevin's family; wife, Jenny; son, Austin; daughter; Allison is your prayers.  As everyone gets back to their daily lives, these coming days are going to be the very hardest on them.\n\nI was sitting ring side at this fight.  To say that they are "questioning" whether he should have been in the ring is ridiculous.  Kevin has been boxing since he was nine years old.  If he had a "headache" before the fight, like so many of us do every single day of our lives, he would have never complained, as this was the fight that would have taken him to the level that he had been training for for some 25 years...he would have never thought it was anything more than just that, a simple headache.  Yeah, hindsite is 20 / 20.  But, he should be remembered as the Champion that he is.  He won that fight and nothing at all during the fight would have ever made you think that he suffered any injury that would take his life.  God bless him and his family.\n\nI would also like to say that his opponent showed real courage by coming to the Funeral Service.  He is to be commended for that, as I know this has to be tough on him, as well.

I think a hanging is enough. I wonder what he's thinking too. Do you think he's scared of death after all the deaths he order for all those people? Do you think a man who sentence hundreds of thousands of people to die by poisonous gas in their own towns deserves an easy death such as hanging? victims of the gallows die instantly 99% of the time. The peopel he killed died after hours of vomitting up their insides, foaming at the mouth, and finally violent convulsions and intense pain.\n\nI guess it's a tad bit ironic that a man who cause so much death and probably killed a few himself would be afraid to die. Maybe he thinks he is better in some way than all those people who died. Maybe he feels he deserves life more than those people do. What causes that?

I don't know for sure, but I do know he had fallen out with at least one of his brothers not long before he died, then they made up, but maybe he didn't get chance to change his will. It's a sad loss.

i think it was probably a suicide. he was getting clean and thats always hard, and i suppose he had a pretty heated arguement with his girlfriend. I know we try to place blame on others when our favorite artists commit suicide (Elliott, Kurt) or die mysterious deaths (Jeff Buckley, Jimi Hendrix) but in reality these people are fragile and off-center to begin with, and fame adds a myriad of temptations and trouble. Thats what makes them great, sure, but we have to be reasonable. Nobody out there wanted to see Elliott dead except Elliott.

I didn't see the body but I would bet he was dead. I don't think this is all part of some elaborate hoax to fool the world. He was an addict with a bad heart and unfortunately, he simply died.

Not me but a guy friend told me of the time when he was @ 14. His parents were out, so took the chance to lie down in his room, with headphones on, and have a good long session of 'him' time...\nAfterwards, as he opened his eyes to reach for the tissues, he saw there was a hot mug of tea and some biscuits where they were meant to be...Mum had obviously been in while he'd been.....eek!!!

I checked it out-you must hit the Join this Group button and go from there.\nI am sorry for your situation-when people are kids they have no control over their lives and are at the hands of adults.\nThose adults are not always the best people.\nHave you ever sen the movie "Sleepers" how in an instant 4 happy boys lives change forever due to a prank they pulled that accidently killed someone? If that is not bad enough - they are abused and raped the entire time they are in detention and because they have no control over what hapens to them they are forever changed. (of course they get revenge in the end but in real life all you get is scarred for life)\nThe adult is ALWAYS wrong when it comes to the abuse of a child and the child is ALWAYS helpless in the situation.

they couldn't say which kid died because how do you choose? If they choose which kid died then it would have turned into a black and white thing,instead of one mother losing a child.  The point of the episode wasn't the kids it was the difference of treatment that still happens today when a black child is missing vs. a white child. \n\nDid you know that at the same time Natalie Hollaway went missing in Aruba, there was a black teenage girl missing in America? No you probably didn't because she didn't get nearly as much tv time as the Natalie Hollaway case.

I have seen a lot of young people try and commit suicide, and the last thing on there mind is God. Many believe that if you take your own life you wander around in an empty void unable to pass over, this is rubbish of course but it's what some preach to scare others. This is not something that God would approve, and you will find that he gets the blame when someone does take their life, but the blame must fall on us because we fail each other, why? because we live in a world of greed, a place where few have time for others, a place where some kill in the name of their God. We need to share our love for each other as well as God, we mush never let our faith leave us, because it could fall on anyone us. People don't want pity, sometimes it's just someone to talk to, as I said I know I have dealt with a number of young lads up the age of 18 you have tried to kill themselves most cases it's a cry for help, but who's listening????????\nLove & Peace
