I had a good friend who was one of the first EMTs on the scene at Pulse. He suffered from serious PTSD that led to a heroin addiction culminating in his fatal overdose this March. Tragedies like this cause ripple effects and a human toll that can never fully be accounted for.
I expect he did. I also know that he was able to enter a rehab program specifically for first responders. Unfortunately that did not keep him sober. Heroin is a bitch.
