Once upon a time...

In a mythical land beyond the borders of reality and reason...
The former heroin addict, who was suffering severe withdrawal symptoms after being refused methadone, had choked himself.

Days earlier the 40-year-year-old reportedly told guards at Toronto's Don Jail, where he was awaiting trial on driving and drug charges, that he would kill himself without medication.
Unfortunately... there would be no happy... or even remotely plausible... ending here.
This week a five-person jury refused to rule the death a suicide, concluding instead that it was accidental.
Just another reason why...
