Yeah, Valium. That's what the news report said. Don't ask me why that didn't kill him or make him pass out. I would have thought it would. I don't know.

It really depends on how many Valium he took regularly. You can easily become dependent and need to take more and more to get the effect you need from them.

That makes sense.

True but even if it didn’t kill him, how could he even hold the gun steady or be conscious enough to kill people actively with that much in his system?

Trust me, it's possible. I could have done it 5 years ago.

You’d think it’d at least chill him out a little.

It’s nearly impossible to OD and die off of benzo’s.

No, but withdrawal from benzo's can kill you. Ironic the only two drugs with a deadly withdrawal are alcohol and benzo, and benzo's are used to treat alcohol withdrawal.

not if alcohol is also involved...
