It took Layne Staley, Alice in Chains' lead singer, a while longer to kill himself with a speedball. Age at death: 27 years old It happens a lot to drug addicts. Just thinking about it. Jerrys almost entirely about money, or at least he was 3 years ago. I dont think they were good friends but they had used drugs together when their bands were playing at the same show in south america somewhere, if memory serves.and the ride home.

Addiction is no joke, I go to med school so I spend a lot of time in the hospital and its just awful what being addicted to something does to people. Demris Mom Kathleen Austin and Demris 2 dearest friends Cody, Mara and Fabiola 2010. Anyway, Im pleased to see others still commenting in these threads. American Model (Adult/Glamour) Demri Parrott passed away on 29th Oct 1996 Evergreen Hospital, Kirkland, Washington / Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USA aged 27. I need spell check! Barb just saw this quote from Kathleen on PaperPortraiture website: I was saddened to see so much misinformation still out thereI am responding to the post of 10/29 Remembering etc. He walks around flipping his hair and trying to hump everything he thinks might have a vagina. It was drilled into him how his life and career would be over if she OD on his watch so he was afraid to have her around if she was using. I also like to believe that there is an afterlife where we get to see our loved ones who have passed before us and we get to watch and protect the ones who are still here on earth. I went to the video and checked and I dont think its Demri because: 1. thanks for enjoying the post, i think at some point in the future i'll write a longer one with more details (especially positive ones), it feels impossible to do her justice in just a few paragraphs, The last of your months ..days ..none of this matters? To give Layne and Demri a fair and honest recording of their life stories. Thats where all the gangrene rumors started. Some people are predisposed to addiction and so their story is written for them. I was overwhelmed by the people touched by her. Oh my she was so beautiful, so beautiful. It means so much to me. She wasnt making a lot of money back then, but she did manage to get a lot of his. Sorry I meant to say decision! Youre a wonderful woman. I knew she was a special person. Was that not what Demri was trying to say? About the time that Demri was 19 and Layne was 21 in 1988, they met at a store called Saturdays. By the way she didnt like her name shorted she loved the unique name of Demri. Poor girl. He is artistic, plays the drums and guitar, he has natural talent. Ya I mess up and say it (we had nicknames) but also it was to motivate her to add a little fuel under her butt and remember she had a purpose for being here. . Id love to hear your take on any of them if you do read them though. Please write that story, for a book. Just as Alice in Chains became famous, Staley's girlfriend, Demri Lara Parrott, introduced him to heroin. It helped me get the guts to start learning to play guitar, something Ive wanted to do for a long time! Jerry would make these stupid, hazily spiteful remarks like were standing by Layne and I love him anyway. Who wants to be loved anyway? And the thing was that Layne was really bouncing back at this time. I never told anyone that I knew you and you used to tell me dont let it bother you. I think that Layne always sort of blamed himself for not looking after her, because she did need looking after. Demri did NOT get Layne into heroin. Demri went to rehab a few times and she had a pig valve in her heart. Alice in Chains was opening for Van Halen on tour in 1991 when Staley, prompted by Parrott, started using. ~Kat. Alice In Chains late leader Layne Staley tragically lost his fight against addiction on April 5th, 2002. Mind, I never knew him entirely well and I never saw him do it, but its what people were saying.

You are the only one on the internet who knows about those days, and any info on Demri, Layne, Chris, Andy, or others in the Seattle Grunge Scene would be appreciated. On the other hand I also dont flatter myself that I could have done something for him; I just dont know if I was that important. Sometimes, we forget that they are people too. I can understand as well as empathize with Layne, Demri, and all addicts that have been seduced by a drug that seems so good at first. I know he did get an infection because of his very, very stupid way of not looking after things. The song was included on the compilation albums Music Bank (1999) and The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). This was probably 91. Yes, I like both men and women. All the sources for the information Ive obtained are from her friends or family, so I trust them. We tried to before but couldnt really connect with Nancy- too much focus on Laynes addiction and Heroin, and yknow there was a lot more to those times than just that. They were very discreet about it. He told me that he Thought the site was abandoned but I know life gets in the way. She died in the hospital late in 1996. A month after I saw her on the bus, she was dead. They can seduce you and make you feel like nothing else can be as good to you. When Demri passed, Layne really took that hard. Demri died from endocarditis; a bacterial infection of the heart valves which is mainly caused by IV drug use and yes dirty needles. Lol. She was interested in philosophy and poetry, loved to collect vintage clothes, make decoupage, and play in front of the camera. Layne was like no other. DAVID DUET Before I left Seattle, Alice in Chains was having their big Bumbershoot show and Facelift was out. Was just curious about that. That would mean everything to me. But I will say this: Jerry saw this coming. I hate to stop before I am finished with something and will work 72 hours straight to get something finished no matter what even being my own boss. Anyway, once Demri died it was all over him because she knew him. 2 years after they were engaged and about 6 years since they began dating, the former couple split. They were engaged in 1992 but later separated in 1994. When did you lose hope, though? Following his death in 2002, Screaming Trees frontman told Rolling Stone, "He never recovered from Demri's death. I have not read any of the books written about the era or the books written about my friends Mike and Layne. He always kept saying that he had slipped. Most of what everyone heard then was nonsense. I do not believe and I do not disbelieve. The did accept him but it never worked out. But when people are addicted to heroin, they have to want to stop or you cant really help them. Random. Youve done a great job with this site, having your own life & kids, that I thank you. One of Layne Staley's friends who spoke to NME revealed that he was placed on a 24-hour suicide watch after he had learned that Demri Parrott died from an overdose. There are people who say this cured their cancer. His body took a while to die, but his spirit lived on, as did Demris, after her passing. I think about 95% of it had to do with shame over what he had become. Happy to know you found and enjoy the web site.

I wish she could of figured it out before it was too late but the truth is.. very few do but the ones who can are super humans and should be extremely proud and share their stories of hope with the ones who havent gotten there yet. He became sort of ashamed and let it go longer than he should have. Back in April when Rachel heard Demri had a zero % chance to live she made a B-Line to the hospital to make sure, as it was questioned repeadily and probably gave Demri incentive to live. I was jealous of the model dip**** and I hated her. One story he told her mom the other her dad.

Even though the server responded OK, it is possible the submission was not processed. For all the site! Barbara, you are so good to remember your friends. No one would have had any idea who she was if not for Layne. One of his more moronic friends told me that he had actually died, but what little I did get from Layne told me this wasnt true. Believe me because I know. Club tells us, the year 1996 seems to have marked the start of his slow, sad downfall. Someone who took many drugs, uppers, downers,narcotics, yet she always tried to better herself, in acting, in life. Dear Susan, Bless you. It was believed that Parrotts death was the beginning of the singers end. To be honest Leah.. It doesnt seem right to me that they continue the band because there is no improvement.

She also created a path for herself as a model, artist, muse, and actress who died of a drug overdose on October 29, 1996, at the age of 27. I never wanted to end my life this way. How you doing Jacqueline? I just wish that they both had survived, Layne marrying her, but it seems that she didnt want to get married. They both were on a downward spiral without a safety net. Alright, I apologize then and I am very sorry to hear about what your going through. Just dropping in to see if there have been any new stories to read , Its awesome designed for me to have a web page, which is valuable designed for my knowledge. 17 talking about this. Layne apparently adored her; he would never talk badly about her and apparently it was the same with her. Nothing would have made her happier than to know her name will forever be attached to Layne's memory. I understand that Jerry started doing cocaine again around this time.

Bless you, get well, and have a Happy New Year filled with love, happiness, and joy. God bless them both, may both be in Heaven with G0Ds good graces falling upon them. But not in a slutty way. Addicts not necessarily. Aftermath [ edit] Personally, I have no idea exactly what happened, but I got a lot of stories.

I got an errorto be continued, First I would like to thank you for this site. Im just happy more people came out and started to share pictures of her. Hopefully others will not make the same mistakes that so many of us have. I just look forward to hearing from someone. From the same photo shoot as the picture . I see a lot of conjecture and guessing about the nature of these relationships and its bugged me for years. Aalsteinn, Hi Xana! Being in a relationship w/ Layne changed none of that. She suffered a lot in life, from around 1993 (I think) until her death in 1996, she was in and out of hospital constantly. I completely understand this, and I dont expect that everyone should like her, nor do I wish to make her into an angel or saint; she wasnt. Its so sad to hear that she wasnt in one place for long.

Demri Parrott was famous for being the ex-fiancee of Alice in Chains frontman, Layne Staley. People are complex and I never knew her but it seems this tribute site exists because she earned it. You were like a mom to them,making sure they were eating and breathing. When Layne didnt feel like eating Johnny could get him to drink an Ensure sometimes 2 or 3. It steals everything from us including everything that makes us who we are the things we love about ourselves and then it takes our very last breathe before we even know how far gone we are. I respect that. This was neither the beginning nor the end of Staley's sufferings that he was trying to get rid of it for years. Message from Kathleen, Demri's mom. That sound was amazing I was listening to Rotten Apple with the black lights on and it just took me to another place. How can two people that loved one another so much come to this, is a question that all of us fans have asked at different times. (Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage). 2). there is something so special about her. Enabling is just as bad as abandoning. Layne was always really quiet about it. Not just to your soul and family but to your body in general.
