Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Drew's last tweet was December 5, the night of the Deadspin awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Some Twitter egg asked in a reply to the twitter announcement if he drove home drunk and had a wreck or something. This is said moron: Seems like someone with a very dull axe to grind for whatever reason. No idea why. EDIT: I post this not to say "I buy these explanations" but to point out that there are rumors out there that are completely baseless. My guess is a goofy kitchen/holiday light/combination of both accident that involved ladders, knives, and/or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Tweet thread. In short, he got drunk, his esophagus bled (from karaoke?), and he began to choke. Needed surgery to stop the bleeding and was in a coma for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bleeding esophagus could certainly be caused by excess alcohol consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Some of the theories thrown around in the wake of Drew's first tweet thread said that since the thing happened to Drew off-site, the venue's insurance may have to pay out. Drew's work insurance might be on the hook if he admitted he was drunk when the situation happened. And so the employer doesn't want the liability, so they made him delete the tweets. And now... It seems to me that if GMG's lawyers want to cover up the real situation. And they're getting Drew's wife to do it too. On Christmas day. I'm not sure if the conspiracy theory makes sense as to how insurance actually works, but this is 100% something GMG might do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris- Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 But wasn’t it some sort of internal issue? Why would an off-site venue be liable for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I don't know the insurance/liability side of things. He was singing karaoke (so he'd have to be drunk) and his throat exploded. Maybe because of WHERE it happened, they had some liability? I have no idea. It could just be that if you admit to drinking, that could conceivably be some cause to what happened, and it could cause issues for an insurance payout.

johnny Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 They shouldn’t put Whitney Houston on the karaoke list. Drew could never pull that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
