Overdose death in Blaine 'will never leave my mind,' teen says
    #14234154 - 04/03/11 11:38 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

http://www.twincities.com/ci_17755821?source=most_viewed

It started with a case of beer, three friends and a game of quarters.

Greg Dwyer, an 18-year-old from Spring Lake Park, picked up his friends Jesse Fisher and Nikali Johnston, both 16, a little before 7 p.m. March 16. They stopped at a liquor store, grabbed a 30-pack of Milwaukee Special Reserve and headed to Fisher's house in Blaine. His mom was out of town.

"It was just supposed to be a few of us," Dwyer said. "Every time (Fisher) has a party there, something always happens. ... That's why he wanted this to be a chill night, just drinking beer."

At the beginning, it was.

The three teenagers cracked open their beers in the kitchen. They talked and listened to music as they took turns trying to bounce a quarter into a cup on the counter.

Later, another kid showed up, then a couple of others, and eventually Trevor Robinson and Timothy Lamere. That's when the night turned. The focus shifted from drinking and hanging out to a pile of white powder dumped on the living room coffee table.

Eleven partiers that night took the 2C-E, a synthetic hallucinogen often described as a mix of Ecstasy and LSD. Ten wound up in area hospitals. Robinson, a 19-year-old father, would later die. Lamere, 21, or "Timte," has since been charged with unintentional third-degree murder.

It was an outcome none of them expected.

"I still can't even really believe it," Johnston said. "It was just a normal party till (Lamere) brought out the lines."

Johnston and Dwyer were two of three people at the party who didn't take the 2C-E. Though both drank — Dwyer says he had five or six beers, Johnston about 12, plus a couple of shots — each said they sobered up immediately after the 2C-E showed up. Their memories of what happened at certain points in the night are sharp, sometimes painfully so.

"I couldn't sleep for three days," Johnston said. "Every time I closed my eyes, I would see (Trevor's) face."

SEEING COLORS

Not long after the three settled in to their game of quarters — about 7:30 p.m. — another friend showed up. Two girls they knew from school arrived an hour later, having run into Fisher and the latest guest on a cigarette run.

The girls, who brought a liter of whiskey, Dwyer said, wanted to invite Robinson.

"Trevor is always the life of the party, so they wanted to drink with him," Dwyer said.

Robinson showed up with two more girls, but he didn't stay long.

He had something else on his mind, said Dwyer and Johnston, two of the original three gathered that night.

"He wanted to see colors," Johnston said. "Those were his exact words."

And Robinson wanted to bring Lamere.

Lamere was a friend of Robinson's who had been charged with two drug-related felonies in 2008. Dwyer and Johnston said people knew to hit up Lamere if they wanted to get high.

Robinson "kept asking, 'Is it OK if I bring Timte?' " Dwyer said.

It was about 10 p.m., Dwyer said, when Robinson returned. He had Lamere and two other friends in tow.

IMMEDIATE EFFECTS

Lamere dumped a pile of white powder he called 2C-I onto the coffee table. He then split the powder into lines, Dwyer said. The substance later tested to be 2C-E.

Dwyer, who said he'd done 2C-E about eight times, said the lines looked big, maybe about the length of a lighter and a quarter of the width.

Robinson, who had turned 19 a few days earlier, got first pick of the biggest one.

Johnston and Dwyer said Lamere offered the drug to anyone who wanted it. Dwyer, who thought he might need to take a drug test for a job, declined. Johnston, who said he'd taken 2C-E maybe 20 times before, said he wasn't up for it. A girl also declined.

The remaining partiers, including Lamere, took turns snorting the lines. One kid stuffed his in toilet paper and ate it, Dwyer said.

The effects were immediate.

"(One girl) had puke on her pants; someone puked on a purse. There was just puke everywhere," Dwyer said.

"Everyone was holding their faces and saying it hurt way worse than 2C-E," Johnston recalled, adding others there had taken 2C-E in the past.

Then people started breathing heavily and sweating, Johnston said.

"Just dripping sweat ... down to their belly buttons," he said.

One girl kept asking Dwyer if they were dead. Another guy later told Johnston he felt like he was under sniper fire because he saw red dots. Someone else dry heaved while screaming for food.

Johnston said he's seen plenty of people on drugs before, "and none of them had ever acted like that."

ONE LOSES CONTROL

Robinson, the usual life of the party, had gone quiet, Johnston and Dwyer said.

"He was just completely blank face," Johnston said. "I was touching his face and being like 'Are you cool, dude?' "

Dwyer started to worry.

"I wasn't worried about him dying; I just thought he wasn't going to be the same person after that," Dwyer said.

But the energy was building in Robinson, Dwyer said. His movements quickened, and his breathing became heavier. At some point, Robinson went into Fisher's bedroom. That's when he exploded.

"It was like he lost control of his body," Dwyer said. "He was flailing around ... breaking (things), punching holes in the walls."

"He was spinning around in circles ... going from wall to wall, and then he would go to his knees and then curl up in the fetal position and then roll around on his back for a while," Johnston said. "He looked like a scared little 5-year-old. ... I've never seen an adult look like that before."

Johnston began suggesting calling an ambulance. Dwyer said he did, too. Both said a few at the party, including Lamere, the alleged drug provider, dismissed the idea, likely out of fear of getting police or parents involved.

Instead, people tried to hold Robinson down, which Johnston said appeared to agitate him further.

"It was like he had superhuman strength," he said.

At some point, Dwyer heard Robinson screaming.

"It sounded like someone was on fire," Dwyer said.

After another struggle to restrain Robinson, he was moved to the living room, where he knocked over an ashtray and a lamp.

Johnston grabbed his guitar.

TRYING TO CALM HIM

"I thought maybe if I played some guitar, it would chill him out a little bit," Johnston said.

With Robinson lying on the floor, Johnston started playing. Dwyer said at first Robinson was still jerking and hitting his head against the floor. Johnston remembers someone putting pillows under his head.

Johnston kept playing, and he and two girls started singing. The tension started to leave Robinson's body.

"I looked at him, and his body wasn't moving and all the movement was in his face," Dwyer said. "I remember thinking, 'That's not good; that can't be good.' "

Then, during what Johnston thinks was the Beatles song "Let It Be," Robinson stopped breathing.

Panic followed.

A few people tried CPR; he didn't respond. Johnston recalls someone calling 911. Dwyer, who said he didn't know an ambulance had been called, felt like he had to act.

He and Johnston carried Robinson out to Dwyer's blue minivan. Johnston said the skin around Robinson's eyes had begun to change color and his body was limp.

They laid him in the back seat, and Dwyer took off for the hospital.

POLICE CALLED

Blaine police got a call from the house at 9532 Monroe St. N.E. just before 1 a.m. March 17. The caller said someone was not breathing.

Dwyer was already on his way to the hospital by the time officers arrived. They found several people at the split-level house who appeared to be suffering a bad reaction to drugs, police reports said.

"There were kids passed out or in medical duress down the block ... or maybe 50 feet away from the house," Anoka County sheriff's Cmdr. Paul Sommer said. It looked like some had left to escape police.

Lamere was found lying in a snow bank. A bottle containing about 9 grams of a powder drug was found in his pocket, Sommer said.

Ambulances took Lamere and nine others to area hospitals, where they were treated for overdoses.

The drug tested to be 2C-E. The results on its purity were still pending, Sommer said.

'HE'S NOT BREATHING!'

Dwyer said he didn't pause for stop signs or street lights as he made his way to Unity Hospital. When he arrived — about 1 a.m. — he parked and left his van's doors open as he carried Robinson into the emergency room.

"I just yelled, 'He's not breathing!' " Dwyer said.

Someone rushed to give Robinson CPR. He was placed on a stretcher and taken away.

Dwyer, immediately questioned by police, said he kept asking if he could see his friend.

"They made it seem like he was going to be all right. ... That's when I stopped worrying," Dwyer said. "It wasn't until the next morning that I heard he passed away."

MOTHER ALERTED

Jill Robinson first learned something had happened to her son while on a bus to catch a class at Anthem College later that morning.

She listened to two messages on her cellphone left hours earlier by police and the hospital. A family friend rushed to pick her up, and then drove her to the hospital.

"I walked in that room and, oh, my God, honey, it was the most painful thing I would never wish upon another human soul, to watch him like that," Jill Robinson said.

The doctors told her Trevor technically died before he had arrived at the hospital. They were able to revive him briefly four or five times.

Early autopsy reports say he died of cardiac arrest caused by toxicity from the presence of "2C" drugs in his system.

No other drugs were in his body. His blood-alcohol level was 0.06, less than the legal limit to drive, Sommer said.

'NOT A MURDERER'

Lamere, of Blaine, was charged with unintentional third-degree murder the next week for allegedly providing Robinson with the drug that caused his death.

Jill Robinson said Lamere was a close friend of her son. He even stayed with her family for a time. She casts no blame on him for what happened.

"He loved my son, and my son loved this silly kid," she said. "I can only pray they can get him the help he needs. ... He is not a murderer."

Lamere is being held in the Anoka County Jail.

Attempts to reach him or his family for comment were unsuccessful. Fisher, who invited two friends over that night, and his family also could not be reached for comment. And an official with the public defender's office, which represented Lamere at his initial court hearing, said they did not want to comment.

Jill Robinson said she hopes the tragedy of what has happened — to both Lamere and her son — will be a wakeup call to others.

LASTING IMAGE

Dwyer and Johnston said they've talked to only a few of the people who were at the party about what happened.

But memories of that night and of Robinson, who they both said was one of the most well-liked and good-hearted kids they'd known, continue to play over in their minds.

"I just keep picturing who he was and what happened and how it built up into him dying," Dwyer said.

In the more than two weeks since, Johnston said he still struggles to sleep.

"I just remember carrying him out, and his face ... that will never leave my mind — ever."

ABOUT 2C-E

A white powder sometimes pressed into pills, it can produce strong hallucinogenic effects. It's available online but has no accepted medical use, police say.

Poison Control Centers started observing use of "2C" chemicals in 2010. In Minnesota, three cases were reported that year, compared with 12 so far in 2011. Trevor Robinson's is believed to be the first confirmed death from 2C-E.

Well the article did say that he had a 0.06 BAC, and that's really low, so I don't know why you're assuming alcohol played a role. Unless there is a very serious interaction between 2C's and small amounts of alcohol that I don't know about.

with lines that big and 9 grams on the person of the supplier I wonder if it was cut down to make measuring easier. It seems like a good idea if you cut it proper and cap it not bounce it around making it settle funny then do rails

apparently one of these kids friends made a post on some web forum saying it wasn't 2C-E, but MDPV.

I don't know if its true tho.

I don't really get why the cats didn't just eat some... Snorting that shit hurts like balls.

Plus... you would have the ability to puke and NOT die... But I guess they just were pretty ignorant of the whole thing, if they are busting out lines like are described in the article.

Makes me wonder, if acurate info were widely available instead of suppressed, would this accident have happened?

i'm not saying the powder holds no blame but i imagine its a lot easier to lose it on psychedelics with some alc in your system (ive never combined the two personally, im just speculating)

:omgz: damn! i cant even imagine how scary and painful of a death that must have been. those lines sound like they were a good 100mgs+
and it sounds like he got the biggest one of them all.

ive snorted small amounts of 2C-E in the 5-10mg range a couple of times and trust me, NEVER AGAIN.

this is whats wrong with these kids man, they just want to "see colors" and think its all fun and games and pretty colors. these are highly potent, fairly un-researched and potentially dangerous/deadly chemicals we are dealing with here.

I blame the lack of information and the current drug prohibition for this. :sad:

I think that's the mindset 99% of people approach psychedelics with. People don't understand the power of psychedelics. If you go into a trip thinking like that, you'll usually have your ass handed to you. That will scare most people away from psychedelics after that, but the strong willed ones will go back for more but with more respect for the drug.

My thoughts exactly. Who the fuck would snort a line of any RC that huge? Esp first time, with no idea of the effects or anything just goin on what some felon said.... These kids' ignorance cost them their buddy's life. Such a sad read. What a horrible way to go.

Quite. That sounds like a good fat K line for me, thats gonna be around 150 to 200mg at least if not more.
When snorted thats x2 the power, which means 300-400 or more dosage equivalence.

Idiots. What fucking idiots.
Sad and all the kid died but I don't have any sympathy at all.
This is the same as eating a bottle of tylenol and complaining when your liver shuts down.
