I hadn't seen him since graduation, until a week ago, last saturday I randomly bumped into him at a mutual friend's house. I also sat next to him in homeroom in high school.

I went to college with him freshman year.... we hung out quite a few times. He was an extremely nice and caring person. I'm still struggling to come to terms with the fact that he's gone. He will be missed.

My heart and prayers go out to Bryan and all who knew him.

I think the story of his being on "mind altering drugs" (yet no one has identified which supposed drugs inquestion) is possible -- particularly at such a venue. But 4-5 "self-inflicted" stab wounds?

No way am I buying it.
