Willingham was given access, "like a lot of other people," to the evidence room, including on his last day at work. The dispatcher died on Aug. 23, 2024, with the cause of death determined to be the "combined toxic effects of fentanyl, gabapentin, diazepam, amphetamine, carisoprodol and methocarbamol"

Jesus Fucking Christ. How in the fuck could anybody think that would be a good time?

Being in a bad place.

I was bad for Benzos, Codeine, and Gabapentin not too long ago.

Worst experience of my life was coming off Xanax cold turkey cause I didn’t know you could die from that.

Fell in a canal one day and decided to just get rid of my supply, then came the worst two weeks ever.

The sick thing is I yearn for benzos quite a lot and it’s only due to me not knowing the current darkweb markets to buy it from that stops me. Not the fact they could be laced with fentanyl. 😔

I get it. I'm an addict at heart, but down to only THC and nicotine. Even at my worst I don't think I would consider even half of that at the same time

That's amazing you were able to get off it. I know it had to be an absolute nightmare going cold turkey. Stay strong, if you can quit, you can stay done with it

I doubt anyone taking all that wants to see the next day

He probably didn't know. Fentanyl gets mixed into a lot of things because it's cheap and it works. And it's really easy to overdose on fentanyl, especially if you think it's something else.

Take the fentanyl out and they would still be having a terrible time with the rest of it
