Hello ...my friend just died yesterday from what seems of a heroin overdose. he was supposed to have been snorting it. i guess they found him dead with a bloody nose and mouth. i was wondering if anyone can tell me if that is signs?? cause his ex and a bunch of other ppl was there with him and we wasnt sure if it was intentional...by the other people.. its under investigation right now. any help would be wonderful please. well see he wasnt an addict though. he had only been into it about a week or so...just as long as his ex got him into it.

Piss-bottle Jones says just saw an article with a potent strain coming from mexico, they are finding people dead with a needle still in their arm or face down from snorting/ smoking

Heroin addicts OD like this all the time, and yes, bleeding from the nose and mouth. They usually don't intend to. There is so much variance in how strong the stuff is, that it is roulette every time they do it. They never know which dose will be their last. However, most heroin addicts do eventually die from OD, not many actually ever kick the addiction before they die. Your friend probably just made a mistake in how much they took.

Ever see pulp fiction? yep, those are classic signs of heroin overdose. could be intentional depending on how much was snorted. thinking of your friend. sorry about your loss.

I just read a news story that there is a big increase in herion OD deaths because the herion is coming from mexico now is more pure than before, so that may be it. Sorry to hear that this happened.

Hmm :/ unfortunate that he decided to take that road... i would assume that this is a case of an overdose, not an intentional set-up...this could have easily been avoided if your friend had chosen not to turn to such measures to deal with life...take this as a lesson, not a burden. if you have other family or friends who do drugs like these, help them get off of it...it's hard, but it is very possible.
