Ouch. So he died slowly of alcohol withdrawal. That’s a nasty way to go.
I mean, I can appreciate that, but…
“It appears he succumbed to complications related to alcohol withdrawal. In his final journal entry, filled with optimism but also concern regarding the symptoms of withdrawal, Tram expressed his love for everyone, reminding us that ‘love is what life is all about,’” read a Facebook post on January 28.
…reads as much or more like a suicide note than a reliable self-diagnosis of an imminently fatal physical condition by a layperson. I guess I’ll wait for the cause of death from medical experts before I speculate further.

To me it sounds like garden variety Dying in the Wilderness stuff. It reminds me of the entries Christopher McCandless wrote before he starved to death in the Alaskan wilderness, and other sorts of things people write when they die slowly. People in this situation know on some level that they are dying but psychologically I don’t think they want to face it, so they start writing these mushy diary entries instead, and just sort of offhandedly mention the thing that’s killing them. McCandless was openly hostile to his parents, but when he was dying he just wanted to see them again and emphasize how much he loved them, and like, oh by the way, these potato seeds I ate made me sick, probably. I find the whole phenomenon fascinating.
At the request of a couple of posters, I have removed the Life Cereal/Breakfast discussion to its own thread. Please go there if you’d like to continue it.
Oh, thanks. I saw a link, but maybe that’s because I’m a mod.
Semi-Update: There STILL isn’t any apparent conclusion to this very complicated and bizarre story.
I understand that the lady in charge of the morgue holding the bodies is now missing along with a bejeweled cat.
I hope you mean a cat with a bejeweled collar.
I think it might be a bejeweled belt instead.
“That’s not how you vajazzle a pussy!”
I think it means a tomcat that still has all his equipment.
Can someone explain the hijack?
It’s a Men in Black reference.
Thank you!
Men in Black - the galaxy was on Orion’s belt. Orion was the cat, the belt was it’s collar, and the morgue lady found it. Then she left to join the MIB.
(Expecting to be ninja’d.)
Nothing to do with the event in this thread.
The hijack is just me prattling on about ALIENS being responsible. Bodies being autopsied tied into bodies in the morgue. Aliens + Morgue = MIB reference. The thread was dragging so I injected a bit of whimsy. SORRY!
I hope we get to see the part where the autopsies mention reqtal trauma.
