On March 2, 2023, Aiden Sagala did what many people do after a long, hot day at work. He cracked open a cold one. Little did he know, that swig of beer would kill him. Aiden didn’t realize that the can was full of liquid methamphetamine, not beer.

    That’s brutal. Assuming he took a single gulp, I wonder what the equivalent of that is in the regular crystal/powder form?

      Solubility in water is .5g/mL, average gulp is around 20mL, so possibly up to 10 grams. A normal dose is .1-.2g so it could’ve been the equivalent of 100 doses.

    This is fucking awful. Such a terrible, out of nowhere death

    Have to say aswell, after reading the article, how stupid is his boss who gave him it? He was involved in the whole meth operation with these cans and decided to give away the excess ones that he thought only had beer in them. Why not just throw them away? Such an idiotic risk for no good reason. Was he high on the supply or something? Only thing I can think to explain why he’d do something as utterly careless as this. And now he’s in prison for 20 years because of it

    “He was screaming out, ‘I want my mom, I want my mom. I’m dying, I want mom. I’m dying, I want mom,’” Billy recalls.

    Aiden’s mom listened helplessly as he hadn’t hung up the phone yet.

    I pity the poor woman who has to live with that moment in her memory for the rest of her life.

    Holy fuck, imagine cracking open a cold one and instead of a brewski it’s FUCKING METH!

    That’s insanity, that poor guy!
