What do you call a dead guy in your hot tub??? Bob.

[G-Man]

Isn't it a little early for the feel good story of the day?

[twerp]

Great friends....sheesh.

[KDP]

It's all fun and games until someone dies.

Drugs. Meth. Bad.

Was anybody expecting the ages to be in the 19-22 range? These guys were in their 50's. Freaking out is an option? And the plan was to ditich the drugs, so somehow everything would be hunky dory and they wouldn't 'get into trouble'. Now that sounds teenage.

[Lou Sussler]

Well they just wanted to get rid of the drugs before they called the cops. Whats the big deal.

Cops typically aren't terribly understanding about lots of drugs being at the scene where somebody ODs and dies.

Wow...talk about harshing your mellow.....nothing like a dead body to end a party....total buzz-kill!

[RockyMtnMac]

Dick - if you throw in some vegetable and potatoes you can call him "Stew".
I am so going to hell...

[stopeatingmysesamecake]

So, the cops are more understanding when there are no drugs at the scene? They wouldn't have found out he OD'd otherwise?

The article says the guy may have downed the liquid ectasy without his knowledge.

This reminds me of a local story about a group of teenagers who had a drinking party. A kid passed out and died. They moved his body to a park. I guess because that way there'd be no way the police would ever figure things out. A futile attempt to cover your ass. Who knows what would have happened if they sucked it up and contacted authorities right away? The kid may have lived.

RMM--hilarious

MUST HAVE BEEN A GREAT PARTY

[troschne]

Sounds like a fourgy gone bad--GHB=Roofies (sp?), and I'm guessing someone slipped El Corpso a Mickey, and then they all panicked when he kicked it.

LMFAO @ Dick C. and RMM!!

[MidtownCoog]

A man party. Eeewww..

[Torgo]

And I thought drugs just expanded your mind.

In an update it notes that the guy was found laying at the entry to the hot tub with his arms and legs gone....his name is Matt.

[USMerc]

Ok...who has to clean the pool? I hate it when someone leaves a floatie!

[WellThen]

Dude had from the time he "freaked out" Tuesday night until 2:15 pm on Wednesday to ditch the drugs. What the Hell? Are there no storm drains in Dublin?

There's a reason they call it "dope".

[Pyro]

Am I the only one thinking of Weekend at Burnies here?

[Reno]

Sausage party! I'm guessing the dead guy was not a top and thus ended up on the wrong end of the water during shenanigans.

[Navy Chief]

RMM & pms - You guys are KILLING me! ROFLMAO!

[USMerc]

...When they hung him up to dry, they discovered his name was really Art.

[RockyMtnMac]

No. no, no Merc. They didn't hang him up to dry, they threw him on the grill and called him "Frank"

I heard he used to water-ski under the name "Skip"

Doesn't really matter what you call him now because he can't come anyway!

Oh! Thank You! Be here all evening. Dont' forget to tip your waitress!

[USMerc]

Oh, RMM!!! That's why I love you!!! LMAO!!!!!!

[Nauip]

@Lou - how many folks does it take to call for an ambulance? 1 you say? ok. Now... the tricky bit. How many folks does it take to gather up the drugs and run out the back and stash them elsewhere? 1 ok. Now subtract 2 from the number of folks at the party.

And when he hung above the window with his brother they called themselfs Curt and Rod.

[thomas]

If his buddies had covered him up with leaves, you could call him Russel.

Hi Reno! You kinky!
