My niece's ex was addicted to breathing aerosols. He wouldn't show up and they'd have to go looking for him in store parking lots. He'd be in his car with the windows up and he'd be passed out. They found him dead one day. He was lucky to have survived for so long but that time he went over to the other side and there was nothing anybody could have done about it.
