here's the exact e-mail i got from my neighbor, she's now living with her parents, and is moving out of the house and selling everything. please keep them in your thoughts, this is her reply to when i asked her what happened:
"Well, we were on vacation up in Blue Ridge for a wek, and we had just gotten home last Tuesday. Long story short, we went out to eat and went drinking. When I woke up on Wednesday to go take care of school stuff to transfer schools, I saw that he was dead when I went to leave the note and give him a kiss."
it's so sad to me even though i only met him once. i'm not really sure what caused his death, and i don't want to pry more than i already have.
