Details on Jose Fernandez death

[Hudson2]

He had cocaine in his system and his BAL was twice the legal limit...

[The Chosen One]

I wonder if that's why he was so amped during his starts.

Also, would drug testing the league does test positive for cocaine?

Soooo sad.

Soooo sad.

At this point, feel worse for his unborn child that his/her dad would get drunk and coked up and go out on the ocean at 3 in the morning two days before a scheduled start. Will look back on his death with far less sympathy that the media wants us to feel.

Why because you never did anything stupid that you really could have killed yourself or others while you were still maturing. I know there are a few times I said, what the Hell... I was lucky. it sucks he died.. it sucks he probably was driving and killed two others. It was dumb and immature.. but I am the last guy who should cast any stones..

Don't turn this around on me. I realized at an early age that no one was responsible for my actions but me. I had to work my way through college with a fulltime job waiting for me the day I got my diploma. The only crazy things I ever did, I was stone cold sober when I did them (aside from some secondary smoke at an Eagles concert in Birmingham, but no laws were broken). Robin Williams famously said that "Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you have too much money." A suitable epitaph for this kid.

Whether he was doing drugs or not doesn't affect my sympathy for his death. If anything, it makes it sadder bc it might have been preventable.

And just think how easy it would've been for him to employ a sober driver who could've at least played co-pilot and kept them from running into rocks.

So you don't he and his friends getting coked up and putting theirs and potential other lives in danger in ****ty?

You're a strange dude

Cool. Putting you on ignore and request you do the same. If you can't accept opinions you don't like without name-calling, you're not worth the time or trouble to read.

Likely but cocaine processes through the body very quickly

Not really sure this was released. Fernandez is dead either way, but now he's forever a drug head

Fixed.

Yeah. I agree that releasing this info, that quite frankly many probably assumed anyway, does no one any good. His family should get some say in whether the info is released or not.

Maybe they did.

Life insurance or property damage insurance issues? I have no idea, but my guess is information like this could be used to determine blame.

Its been almost 30 years since we have had a President who did not publicly admit to doing illegal drugs. Just because the government makes something illegal does not make it immoral. If you drink alcohol you have no grounds to tell other people they cant take a drug.

[goldfly]

he's forever a drug head

you're really a piece of ****ing ****

[bravesfanMatt]

Why, you don't think the public will look at him differently now. Seriously, if you don't feel that way, then voice your opinion, but don't be a dick to others because they feel differently than you.

[mossy]

A good guy that made selfish decisions. A lot of people hurting because of those decisions.

[bravesfanMatt]

Saw a link that his lawyer has evidence that JF was not driving. Phone records. This might get really ugly if law suits start flying.
