I personally know (knew?) someone with a Wikipedia article about dying in the street after doing a ton of blow, naked, covered in Vaseline, running away from prostitutes... And even this might top that in terms of most hilarious death.

Also, please extrapolate, if it's not too painful to recall more details. Vaseline Crime Scene is the name of my upcoming podcast.

To be fair, his death was way after me and my family knew him, but he did have a cocaine problem. Look up Herb Abrams; also I misspoke, it was baby oil.

Mr. Electric has an interesting wiki. Thank you for sharing.

I once met a man who fell through a roof of a restaurant & then covered himself in ketchup and mustard. He awoke to the police finding him swaddled in a blanket of insulation.

I hope it wasn’t fiberglass insulation. Gonna be so itchy!

It was an old building, my guess is the itchy kind.
