I thought he was dead too. I remember thinking that Pharmacy part with him and Herman was rad, he did tailslide back to regular down the hollywood 16. that's tough.

He lives in San Diego I see him at some meetings, I think he lives in a sober living. Hes still skating a bit . I remember seeing a thread that he died but then I saw him at a meeting and I talked to him for a bit.

He is not dead. A while back his mom actually went to a skateboarding related message board and cleared the rumors up about him overdosing. If I remember correctly he had a heroin addiction, but if he's living sober I give him the veteran recovering addict head nod.
