Do you know anyone who has died or had a health problem from cocaine?

I have read that the most dangerous combination of drugs (in terms of killing the most people each year) is cocaine and alcohol. Apparently its an extremely dangerous combination and kills many many people, including young healthy people, and can cause heart attacks and spontaneous cocaine death syndrome as well as being hugely toxic on the liver, and they say it also has a cumulative effect so even if you don't notice any problem at first you can develop heart problems at middle age from cocaine and alcohol use in your youth.
This was disturbing to learn because the vast majority of my friends used this combo on a regular basis, it was basically the standard party drug combination used by all of them almost every weekend.
And yet none of them have had a heart attack, died or had an obvious health problem that I know of, yet.
And I even know someone who is a cocaine dealer and serves hundreds of customers for years but none of them have died or had a heart attack that I know of.
So I am curious, do any of you know any one who has had a heart attack or died using cocaine/ cocaine and alcohol?
Have you personally had any scares or health problems?
Any stories of cocaine heart problems, death etc?

Not personally, but I can think of a number of overweight comedians who died of heart attacks and turned out to be coke users.

There aren't really a whole lot of Cocaine addicts these days from what I've seen. Shit I can barely ever even find the stuff, and when I do people are taxing. From what I've seen most people have moved onto opioids.

I haven't done coke in years but back when I did, I thought I was about to have a heart attack after snorting a particularly large line (yes I'm an idiot and accept full blame). It was one of the scariest moments of my life, I think.

I've had that feeling smoking crack before. Definitely not fun. The state of panic it puts you in is worse than any other fear I've felt.

Yep. I even thought about calling 911 but I thought I'd be dead by the time they got there anyways so what's the point.

i'm too old for cocaine. it keeps me up for my hangover. because for there's always alcohol involved. that's when it always seems like a good idea. i haven't really had any bad times on coke, but i'd rather alter my consciousness in more interesting and fun ways that don't leave me feeling like shit the next day. that and fuck a whole lot of giving money to the cartels.
cocaine has claimed plenty of lives. chris farley is someone off the top of my head who died because of iv cocaine use if i'm not mistaken.

Cocaine + Ethanol is extremely cardiotoxic - way more so than just cocaine. Cocaine itself is not the best for your heart either (quite cardiotoxic, especially in the large doses most people do). While I do use cocaine from time to time, I don't use the huge lines that I notice people use - that makes me too panicky and worried about heart issues. I would do perhaps a small bump here and there as a reward once in a while. But I am cognisant of the fact that cocaine is not the healthiest thing to use.

I know a couple people personally that passed from cocaine overdoses. I overdosed on it myself a couple times, but never died. I also have a few friends that OD'd on it but survived. Coke overdoses suck; convulsions, heart going out of control, extreme shortness of breath, nausea, etc..... Going in & out of consciousness. It hasn't happened to me for years so I don't remember the details though.

I remember hearing that when I took a class on drugs and stuff in college. The teacher tried very hard to impress upon us that you should NEVER mix those two. The trouble is cocaine doesn't get me all that high unless I drink a little with it or smoke it.

Yes a great friend. She was only 28. Her mother found her blue on her bedroom floor hours after she o'd. She was pronounced as brain dead - no stem cell activity. That means nobody is ever waking from their coma - ever, a vegetable.
Her parents let us all come say our goodbyes and pulled the plug within a week.
She did coke from the time she was 13 and fucked with it hard for many years. I visit her grave once a month. I miss her terribly. Messed up part is she went home fine & died technically hours after her last sniffing session.

I would think cocaine+heroin or benzos+alcohal kill more but I really don't know.
I didnt even know people still did coke.
