he was talking about elite bodiez...he kept thinking he was going to get a mod position. (pretty much the same as he thought with ef and ntbm).

agreed, that's fucked.
no respect whatsoever.
I also can't believe some of you guys thought this was a prank. PoBoy loved to joke, but not about shit like that. The only scenario that could have been in the case is if one of his ex gf's or gf hacked his accounts and posted that.
I'm gonna miss the random phone calls on sunday during football from him.
Like people have said, he really was a good guy..and he was real.His online personality was just an act and he liked to fuck around. the people that really disliked him didn't understand him.
i'm saddened...I'm not surprised totally because shrimp always hung around the wrong people and had some bad habits, but i thought he was getting better with all that.
we'll miss you bro.....
i'll have a beer at Lost Weekend in his honor.
fwiw, I never thought he would pull a joke like this. I just hoped, because that seemed a better alternative than him being dead. I think a lot of others (not all, but at least some) were of the same mindset. Better a terrible cruel joke than a reality. 
Good idea. I think it should be your last post on this thread too.
I found his sister on facebook and she confirmed it.So any dispositive proof about this, or just internet hearsay? I'd look, but never knew his name or where he lived.

I'm pretty bummed about it and I hope it helps some people see that you shouldn't let your friends go w/o letting them know theyre valued
Yeah Shir, I agree with you and Nef, I guess I hoped it wasnt true but I kinda knew it was... I remember the one time we talked he had just broken up with neck brace and he wouldnt STFU about it 
and I had a prepaid phone and was running out of minutes, lol....

So how many of the folks getting pissy at comments were the same ones who'd boast up daily with Shrimp about loading up on Xanax and Ludes? That's real cute. How many threads in the last year were there constant pages one upping who pops the most benzo's? "lolz @ 10mg, take that for a hangover" Fuck I was a junky last year and never bragged about any of that shit. When did it become "cool" to be hooked on meds just cus they're legal.
While everyone doesn't want to say it, I will. At his age and his history, he most likely died from either A: a overdose B: a cardiac problem
So before you keep pointing fingers about comments, think back if you were a daily instigator in a addicts life. Unknowingly or not, that's nothing better than being a co-dependent

he didn't say that he didn't feel bad...he said that shrimp ain't ready for sainthood...and...if shrimp were here, i'm sure he'd give that a big ole' +1...he wore his heart and his flaws on his sleeve.
The death of a person is bigger than any possible quarrel contained within the confines of the internet, (short of full on identity theft). Ive had it out with many people on here before and if any of them died like this I would feel no differently than if one of my best internet bros died.
Think of it this way. If Shrimp was a coworker you didnt know that well but you knew he worked at your company, and sometimes you said hi or had small talk in the break room but thats it. How would you feel if he suddenly died? Even if you knew he had problems you would care that someone you knew on some level died. Thats human nature.

The pathology report is usually available within three days of the autopsy IF the death is from something physically obvious. However, a toxicology report can take time, up to several weeks. Contrary to CSI, that shit doesn't turn around in 30 to 60 seconds 
Although, if someone consumed a significant amount of alcohol and/or pills that would be obvious immediately during the procedure. Unless someone is close to Shrimp's loved ones, all we can do is speculate.
Barring trauma, suicide and death by misfortune, there are really only a few things that unexpectedly kill an otherwise apparently healthy person in the prime of their life, as was said earlier, overdose, is one, unknown/undetected cardiac problems another. To that I would add stroke and aneurysm.

This is a bummer. I slid the unlock bar on my iPhone and shrimps contact page popped up. I guess from when I called him in disbelief of this news.
We all know shrimp was a hard charging hard partying dude. I hope he went out lit, happy, and painfree.
Dudes larger than life personality will be missed for sure. It's easy to write people off and take people for granted. Dude called me not too long ago and like many of you I blew his voicemail off. I really do wish that I would have took the time and called him back.
This is my last time checking out this thread. Dude's gone and truthfully this whole thread is a Debbie Downer. The e-drama and douchbaggery is strong in some. They should take a good look in the mirror.

I think its moot really as to HOW it happened..it happened
an obit will not likely say HOW it happened and it really shouldn't matter..
he's gone, its tragic for many
rnch bowed out of the thread...let it go for now guys

Nice! I think Bino needs to post up his old shrimpatar.
Jesus Christ! Thank you! It's like rnch is the only one of you fuckers that can follow simple directions!
That's enough from BOTH sides of that argument.
I dont blow anyone off anymore much for this same reason
most people mean well, and even if it appears to be meh, one should take the time with someone.
as long as someone means well and is not out to harm you, be a pal.
i honestly never took the time to get to know the guy
was too over the top and into partying, and i couldn't look past that.
maybe i should of, sounds like the dude had some amazing quals.
it shocks me that you bros knew him that well, with the phone calls and what not.
i've only briefly talked to a few folks here, never anything in depth either, and i've
been here a lot longer...but,he did in his short time here, social animal i shoulda taken some cues from him.

Shrimp was a maniac -- and I mean that in purely complimentary terms.
We ran around one night when I was in New Orleans for AAOS last winter/spring. He picked me up at the hotel, sweater in hand and there was only one place on the planet we were going to first -- Cutters. He called and a guy with a feminine voice answered named "JR". Shrimp was asking him if there were any hot guys there and told him we were on our way. The ride there was absolutely nuts, as he spend 2/3 of his time with his head turned toward me talking and 1/3 of the time looking at the road. As soon as we got outside, he wanted picture after picture in front of the Cutter's sign with teh sweater. After a few pictures, JR came outside to see what was happening. I was thinking: "Great, we're about to start a fight in a gay bar in downtown NO" and what did Shrimp do? He didn't miss a beat. He said: "You must be JR! You better be telling me the truth about the hot guys in there!". JR shook his hand and we rolled right in.
I'll miss shrimp. This board needed more shrimpy goodness.
lol fuking awesome, something you'll probably never forget...how many single meats have you had with a person and remember?
not many at all...that speaks volumes about dude.
and i just tried rocking the ole school po-tar, the one with the akward looking asian chic and him rocking the schweater.
but it didn't feel right to me so i took it down.
maybe in a few months, to pay homage

Easily one of the all time great pics in the annals of EF
I remember when i first came in to chat and I was like...who is this guy who is in everybodys avi......and once i was told I got to know him. He was a cool bro. I guess I feel soo bad because one such a loss of someone before there time....and 2 because the regret of not geting to know him better. He had his demons....but I cant help but believe that this is OUR hell and that he is in a better place now. R.I.P.
So I received this message from his sister when I asked for info on a public service to pay respect in case any of you can/want to make it:
service will be Thursday 11/11/10 at Honaker Funeral Home 1751 Gause Blvd West (in forest lawn cemetery) in Slidell. Visitation begins at 9am, service at 11am. Please pass this on for us to those you think may wish to attend. It will also run in the Times pic on tues and wed of next week.
I would like to go but cant, if any of you wanna pay respects in our behalf it is appreciated.

Thank you for this - humanizing the ef-read thread personality is awesome. And I'm not being sarcastic. Sounds fantastic. He may not have been the type of person that everybody agrees with, but he certainly was a dynamic individual.

I had a few messages I didn't realize I had saved on my phone and he was one of them. I listened to it a couple of times in a row just cracking up thinking about him being a kid in a candy shop any time he got an audience. I swear 90% of his messages or conversations started out with, "Aw man, you gotta hear this..." And he'd just go off on a tangent. That's three people in the last two years I've lost that I didn't need to. Fucking blows.
It's nice, a lot of people may just remember his saints and neck brace posts
but there was more to him, he was actually very caring, when I moved here he gave me advice and followed up with me to see how I was doing, called me when I settled in my apartment, I remember sitting in the middle of my unfurnished apartment, all I had has a folding table, 2 folding chairs and an airbed, and there I sat in my empty living room talking to Robert about EF, good bros, the US and his girlfriend, it was nice

He thought the world of you bro, just so you know he always had great things to say about you. He fucking loved some Plank, Nevin and SB. I use to laugh at the fucker till I couldn't breath, lolz he always had a fucking plan for some shit that's fo sho.

I have to laugh at him. I was remembering one thread he wrote asking if it was OK to boil glass dildos and use them on his next GFs. loloololol
He said they were too expensive to throw away and wanted some female feedback as to what they thought and what reason he could give for already owning them.

He was into some truly weird shit. Those porn films he used to post in karma messages and such were too much.
at recycling the damn sex toys xD He also like Adam Lambert from American Idol

Yes. healthy young/middle-aged people don't just drop dread overnight. People are curious so it doesn't happen to them either.
However - usualy if the causes are "shady" - families tend to keep the causes secret or say something else. Ex: I had a friend die from coke/alcohol OD - their family passed it off to others as a heart condition from birth. We all knew the real reasons but said nothing.
So I never bother asking, he and the sweater are gone. RIP.

Well,No reason to hide the "real reason" that someone dies in order to hide embarrassment or whatever if it could bring awareness to others who are embarking on the same lifestyle like Bigmann pointed out..
bakemeacookie

Families don't want the image of their loved one tarnished forever. If someone dies from an OD, that's how they'll be referred to forever - plus sometimes other familes members didn't even know so and so did drugs.
Nto to say poboy did drugs, just listing an example. And since families members may or may not tell the truth, you'll never know for certain - so no point asking.
(look at the denial of david carradine's family)

simple and plain..if u are under the impression that real friendships can develop over the internet (which i do)..then it is human nature to want to know why your friend passed away..helps bring closure to a painful experience

People that live their life that way don't tend to think it will touch them until it at least grazes them. And even then the stubborn ones think that graze makes them invincible. You get help when you hit bottom. And if you don't you die or go to jail.
It is what it is man. An addict's curiosity is nothing other than a way to compare a war story or to feel better about being "smarter" than the other guy.

I liked and respected about Shrimp was he was a real salesman like the classic hunter. It is funny I read an article not long ago about how to spot true hunter sales people they are generally the most difficult to manage but produce the best results. It’s very unfortunate to see someone pass so young. I hope his soul finds peace and rest.
15 days from death to funeral and he was found the day after means the ME kept the body for at least 11 days. That's a pretty long investigation.
I'm still so curious as to how he passed. Could be as simple as a clot.

New member
yes... and no. The last statement would be truer by saying, " An addict's curiosity, who is not in recovery, ...............
But as you also know, Jnev... recovering addicts may want to know because they use it to strengthen their own will to stay clean/sober, AND to have that information to take to others who still suffer. Especially the ones who may have known him. ahem.......
hey guys....I apologize for doing some deletions in this thread re: the obit and memorial video. I had spoken to his sister a little and wanted to wait to defer to her wishes. After some of the shenanigans in this thread (though I know there was really only one culprit), I just wanted to use a little caution and give them a heads up.

Wow just watched the video...and not sure why it makes me so sad for someone that i only knew from an internet forum board, but I hope he has peace now and pray for his family to have strength. Its not natural to bury your children. I hope when I die that my death makes even the most casual of my friends stop and pause and reflect on their life like his death has had me do....
