i could be looking too much into this but he posted this on ilm: bye.
my years of message board experience leads me to believe that these cryptic bye threads are usually suicidal cried for help.

this is the second time he's done this, right?
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:07 (eighteen years ago)
It wou;d be a shame if he did something foolish.

troy, michigan.
best I can do from here.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:12 (eighteen years ago)
This is the second time he's done this, and I dont think anyone here knows him anyway. As much as I also hate seeing posts like that and want to make sure we do the right thing, its a bit hard when the person doing it constantly acts up and then says "lol no Im fine I was just drunk" :| Frustrating.

(FWIW a friend of mine did actually take their own life, leaving a "ciao" post on LJ the night before. Ugh the memories)
― Trayce, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:16 (eighteen years ago)
tbh I thought it was a "leaving ILX" thing rather than anything more serious. He was pretty adamant that he wasn't suicidal when he sobered up last time.

Oh god the ambiguity of others when combined with the internet can just be a world of vexation.
― Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:18 (eighteen years ago)

Upon entering the channel he announced “I've got a grip of drugs” and indicated that his webcam was up, and that chatters were welcome to view his “grip of drugs” and his subsequent ingestion of them. While some of the substances were illicit drugs (e.g. cannabis), most of them had apparently been obtained through legitimate prescriptions for treatment of various illnesses that Vedas was said to have suffered.
Vedas then began consuming Psilocybe mushrooms, which had been stored in a prescription medication bottle. As the chat session progressed, one of the users in the channel, grphish, noted “that's a lot of klonopin” and this is thought to be when Vedas consumed 8 mg of clonazepam (Klonopin). Vedas continued by showing the webcam viewers what would be one of four bottles of methadone that he would consume over the course of the session, and, after noting this on the channel, proceeded to consume an entire bottle (reportedly 80 mg of methadone). After a brief respite, Vedas then consumed 110 mg of propranolol (Inderal), two Vicodin tablets, and 120 mg temazepam (Restoril), which seem to have been taken in-between descriptions given on the IRC channel.
During this process, Vedas maintained that this was "usual weekend behavior" for him and that he had consumed similar quantities of the same substances on previous occasions. "I told u I was hardcore" was one of the last things Vedas typed.
Upon consuming the remainder of the original batch of drugs from the beginning of the webcam session, Vedas began to retrieve and prepare to consume even more drugs that he had stashed throughout the room. It was at this point that the users of the channel began to voice their concerns that Vedas was taking things too far. Some pleaded with him to stop while others recommended that he seek immediate medical attention. After taking another large quantity of the same drugs he had already ingested, Vedas gave instructions that if anything were to go wrong, that they should try to contact him by calling his cell phone, and if that didn't work, they should call the local authorities and give them the license plate number of his car, which was parked in his driveway and could easily be seen from the street.
When Vedas lost consciousness, users of the chatroom considered informing the police and asking that they trace Vedas's cellphone in order to locate him. However, the members of the channel were hesitant to contact the authorities for fear of involving Vedas and/or themselves in a police investigation. According to the chat logs, one user had even called 9-1-1 and asked the group if he was doing the right thing.

― chaki, Friday, 28 December 2007 04:35 (eighteen years ago)
I do hope he's alright. :-( No way of knowing if he is? Chaki did you email him?
― stevienixed, Friday, 28 December 2007 04:49 (eighteen years ago)
even if they come back 654584 times saying "lol, fine doods!" it doesn't mean that the next time they are sending a real cry for help.
― stevienixed, Friday, 28 December 2007 04:50 (eighteen years ago)
I don't know andi, but I might shoot him an e-mail since he seems to like me.
― Curt1s Stephens, Friday, 28 December 2007 04:52 (eighteen years ago)
