    Bro was diagnosed with leukemia during our vacation. He died a few weeks after we got back to school. He was one year below me, I never talked to him, I just knew who he was. It was a weird day.

    Everyone was arriving to school and suddenly everyone from his class started to cry. News spread. We only had half of classes and was sent home.

    Accidentally shot himself while cleaning his hunting rifle. Thought it was a suicide at first but they searched his phone and he was searching up how to clean it.

    Drunk driving. It was sad and taught the rest of us a lesson. He had so much going for him.

    He was doing some kind of drugs on a riverbank. He passed out, rolled into the river, and drowned.

    Climbed a mountain outside of town with friends. Stood on a huge rock. It shifted and flipped over, he landed underneath it, and it crushed him.

    1 person car accident, he was one of my best friends. He was a car guy, so I like to think he died doing something he loved. It was a punch in the gut seeing it in the news and hearing his name.

    We had an asthma attack out on the track, a drunken 4am 100 drive into a tree, a flipped over 3 wheeler, and a suicide in which they survived but they absolutely were not even remotely the same person when they eventually came back. All sad, and all super unfortunate. There were more, but these are the ones I remember.

    4 of the senior class played hooky. They were going too fast getting off the offramp and ran into a light pole. Passengers wasn’t wearing a seat belt and went flying. School counselors where in the next day. 2 of my classmate knew her well, I didn’t.

    Slipped while hiking on an outdoor education trip and was impaled by the cut stump of a yearling tree. He bled out before they could get him medevac’d

    Our school planted a tree on campus to honour him. Seriously.

    He was shot dead buying weed about 2 blocks from his house. Died after leaving my school, but he would have been a senior, left a after his sophomore year if I remember correctly

    Got her head chopped off while floating in the lake by a drunk jet ski driver, we got the next day off from school to morn. A less popular girl was killed by a drunk boater the following week and no day off was issued.

  41. meggoleggomyeggo_ Avatar

    She asphyxiated from an unnatural position while her family was out of town. Rumor was drugs/drinking and she passed out. Her parents adamantly denied this and eventually posted her autopsy results to FB to stop the lies.
    Teenagers are mean. Poor girl fell asleep on her couch and suffocated herself in a freak accident.

    One of the more popular kids (good guy, wicked sense of humor, got along with everybody) died in a motorcycle accident (he slid off the road and hit a tree). Died when he just 17.

    Committed suicide right before his 21st birthday.

    We lost touch around the end of sophomore year but he was a good guy and wicked smart.

  46. Sufficient-Lie1406 Avatar

    It was a really good friend, a sweet guy, very smart. During his summer job, he slumped over the cash register with no warning. By the time they got him to the hospital he was dead. Brain aneurysm.

    Incredibly tragic. Really made me think about how short life really is.

    One died during heart surgery, another while riding in a car that got ran off the road by a semi. After HS, a girl got involved with a guy 30 years older than her and he shot her before shooting himself because his wife found out.

    First two: They were on their way to see their mother at the hospital who just gave birth to twin girls. They were hit by a drunk driver who was on his third DUI. The car caught fire, they were trapped in the backseat. The girls didn’t survive. Just horrible. Their mom gives birth to two baby girls and loses her older two girls in one day. Heartbreaking.

    Third one was our freshman year. She was shot in the head by our other friend Brandi, who found her dad’s shotgun, didn’t think it was loaded, put it to Melissa’s head and pulled the trigger.

    One kid was working on a car and had the jack fail, car was stuck on top of him and he died.

    “One kid”?!?

    • hunting accident… tripped and shotgun blew his face off;
    • car accident… lost control coming over a hill, car hit steel bridge, killed 2;
    • go-cart accident… hit parked car, broken neck;
    • playing chicken on mini bikes at night… one dead, one badly injures (brother of steel bridge victim);

    Freshman year: a sophomore was crushed by a truck at his job when he was working underneath it and someone didn’t realize he was there and started to drive

    Sophomore year: a senior died in a car accident on his way to school when he hit a patch of ice

    Junior year: a freshman killed himself so that he wouldn’t get in trouble with his parents after they found out he’d had a party while they were away

    No one died senior year, but three fairly recent alumni died the next year

    She got hit by a car walking home. It was awful. I remember the day they made the announcement in the school. She was a great person.

    Seniors used to camp out on the football field on the last day. My friend, as a sophomore had a motorcycle and on that morning one of the seniors wanted to ride it. My friend said OK but he was going to be on back. Riding through the parking lot, a car pulled out and the bike hit it square. The senior lived but my friend went through the windows of the car and died instantly.

    Driving a Jeep too fast around a dangerous bend in wet conditions, the other was killed by a drunk driver who then went on the kill someone else a few years later, driving drunk again. She was lovely. Didn’t know the Jeep guy but he was very popular and his brother was also pretty popular

    Boy was showing off his dad’s gun to a group of friends, insisting there were no bullets inside. Girl keeps saying it’s not funny and it’s dangerous to play with any gun, loaded or unloaded. Boy points gun at girl to show her it’s not loaded and pulls the trigger.

    I didn’t know her personally, but she was in my choir class and was really nice. The boy went to a neighboring school, so I didn’t know him. But I heard him and his family ended up moving to a new city. Awful all around.

    He was having an affair with a married woman who was his teacher’s assistant, and substitute.

    When her husband found out, he found the kid and shot him. – made the national news in fact

    Suicide. Was getting bullied. Sad part, no one cared. His death got completely overshadowed by a popular girl that ended up driving head first into a tree. They even had the marching band and sports teams wearing ribbons for her. What did he get though? Oh, his father came by to talk about suicide and bully prevention. Which got laughed at.

    4 car accidents, one tractor rollover and one suicide. In 3 years.

  71. StickOnReddit Avatar

    He was evidently cleaning a gun, and his sister picked it up. According to the police report, she accidentally shot him.

    Many years later a mutual friend would confide in me that it was not an accident, and did not divulge any particular motivation other than she was “sick of his shit”.

    When I have told this story previously I have been directed to talk to authorities, but a) this was nearly 3 decades ago; and b) I cannot recall the full name of the person who told me nor any of the people I recall being in their circle of friends, and whatever attempts I’ve made to look them up on socials have gone basically nowhere

    He and his brother were riding jet skis. His brother jumped a wave and landed on him. Cut his head in half. He was dead before the jet ski stopped moving.

    The day after the funeral, his brother disappeared.

    My Facebook had a friend suggestion like a year ago from a guy I went to high school with but never talked to. I was a loner and he was one of the popular guys.

    I peeped. Just to see how his life turned out. He was a recovering addict and had moved to Florida (where I also live now) and seemed to be doing well. He wasn’t the “hot jock” he was in high school, but he had a support group and was avidly posting about his sobriety and rebuilding his life.

    Then, maybe like a month ago, an actual high school friend posted his obituary with a gofundme attached. He overdosed.

    It’s devastating. Not because we were friends or anything. Just that it seems to be the reason for the most deaths I hear or know about these days. My own brother overdosed in a bathroom on Valentine’s Day. While his friends were all in the living room partying. Don’t do drugs folks. It’s not as fun as it sounds and it will ruin or end your life.

    Small town ~5000 – Right before graduation we had a girl classmate that overdosed her self on pills, and then shot herself in the head while sitting on the train track in which her car was hit by a train.

    Did not die.

    None of us ever saw her again but years down the road I had heard that she pretty much fully recovered.

    When it’s not your time, it’s not your time.

    Not my school but my sisters. A girl was there who had everything going for her, Ivy League’s after her, top grades, acing state tests, wealthy family, lived in a nice house in a beach neighborhood, drop dead gorgeous, yea. Her parents were away to help a set of grandparents move into assisted living, and when they got back the front door was open. They were instantly worried about her and their 3 cats. They get inside and find her in her bedroom, shot 7 times. She had no enemies, no debts, no reason anyone would want her dead. A neighbor’s camera caught the guy, but he was wearing gloves, boots, and a ski mask that legit only had mesh over his eyes. Only evidence they had was that the gun was a desert eagle, since the bullets used were .50AE. Fast forward a couple of years and some unrelated criminal investigations and they found their guy. Turns out it was some sort of gang initiation to kill a random child/teen, and they chose her. That guy is in prison now, and will probably never see the light of day again (he’s up for parole in 22 years, so if he behaves well he’s out)

    Edit: also worth mentioning the cats were never found either 🙁
