My money is on pain killers. Oxy etc.. He was in a really bad motorcycle accident a while back and lots of people get hooked after they've been taking them for actual pain for a while.

I remember some interview talking about how his family life was really jacked as he was growing up. Bummed that shit went down and glad to hear he's on the mend.

I wonder what he overdosed using? Didn't he have some injuries and surgeries? I'm guessing it was on prescription pain killers of some kind.

I don't know nick personally, I've met him once for a brief second in providence rhode island and his hands were massive. Anyway aside from that, I was in Colorado a couple years back and somewhere along the lines I ran into some kid that was best friends with Jordan ( nicks little brother ). This was right before he got kicked off dc and this kid basically explained to me that nick was knowingly neglecting his career and that he more or less dislikes skating, and is or was completely over it, he explained a bit more and I remember him ending the conversation with " he's always been a depressed motherfucker". And he also mentioned that nicks had a rough life like you guys said, but anyway I hope this is enough for him to make some changes, hes beast and I got nothin but respect for what hes done on a skateboard, hope he gets well soon

Bummer...but pretty obvious.

I was taking Oxys for a while, loving them. Then when I ran out... Full dope sick. Couldn't do anything for week...but I could finally shit again. Those things block you like a mother. Then when you do shit it's like a size 12 shoe box coming out sideways.

Great, another 12 y/o fat kid making the jump from youtube to Slap.

Addiction is a fucked part of life, gone through my own battles and lost what should have been some good years because of it. Still paying for the mistakes and still struggle with it, and genuinely hope dude makes it back for good, its not easy .

A lot of employers nowadays are understanding about addiction. Mine has a policy where if you initiate attempts to recover they offer additional assistance, beyond what insurance offers, they approve FMLA and temp disability while in treatment, its pretty cool. Hopefully his employers/sponsors see things the same way. People usually need a couple chances and a lot of support to get straight, chances are he's used some of his up already but the Real team with his name but no photo says a lot and if any sponsor will be there to help its DLX, the bigger question is will this be enough fof him to take the support and help himself. I hope so, I'd like to see more footy of Nick D, too much raw talent there.

Not to make light of this situation but the mention of this drug reminds me of this one time I was at this girls house and she offered me an Oxy. I was pretty drunk on whiskey which means I said "YES PLEASE!" to her generosity and then the next thing you know I'm rolling around on this shag carpet listening to Billy Holiday watching this girl wind her butt around in a see through nighty. I guess she wanted to make things happen but I also guess she was unaware of the fact that when she was changing into said nighty I took more Oxy and so was left pretty useless in that department. Woke up face down on an air mattress the next morning and she was gone to her really white collar Canadian journalism career or something. I felt sort of itchy.

The article cites 'sources' without actually citing who they are. It's fucking irresponsible garbage journalism, to say nothing of how shitty it is to be putting his personal shit on blast without his consent.

I'm really surprised a semi-reputable 'news' organization would let this drivel get published online.

a 'news' organization doesn't need consent to run a story. You think Clinton was like "Oh yeah, go ahead, run the Lewinski story!"
If it wasn't drug related, instead of not commenting or doing so vaguely, they would be making sure to clarify it didn't have to do with drugs

I worded that poorly. My issue is with the fact that they are anonymously (no byline on the story) running what is basically unsubstantiated gossip. Anonymous sources are one thing, but generally they are at least named as 'a friend of the victim' or 'a DLX employee speaking anonymously' as opposed to just 'sources.'

It seems like when they edited the article to include the quotes from his mom they also removed the OD headline, for whatever that's worth. Still kind of weak to have the unsubstantiated claims of OD in the first paragraph, especially considering how many pros use drugs and how infrequently their dirty laundry gets aired out (unless they chose to do so voluntarily- ie Epicly Laterds or Baker ads or interviews or whatever.) Skateboard media has always seemed to observe somewhat of a code of silence about personal lives of pros. Imagine if TWS published breaking news that BA is gay, according to 'sources.' Nahmean?

This is how I read the article:

"Dompierre woke up from a coma, I think its drug related. His mom was denying it, but I dont believe her."

Pretty wack if you ask me.
