Lol, you dont sound that cut up about it, but sorry to hear that.
Read like a stunned drunk to me.
I'm not an emotional person so stuff like that doesn't bring me to tears or sees me emit some emotions. That's just who I am but it just sounded very strange and I paid my respects that night through quite a few beers.
The thing is though, the whole thing could have been avoided. Apprently a friend of his spiked his drink as a joke with some H at an indoor sports centre where I've played indoor cricket for 17 years at (yeah, since I was knee high to a grasshopper). Anyway, he went home, didn't feel that great and went to bed. Woke up a few hours later and choked to death on his own vomit. Worst thing of all was his girlfriend was the first person to find him and by then he was already dead in a pool of his own spew.
That's something that no person wants to go through at all. His gf was absolutely devastated, they'd only been going out a few months but had fallen for each other quite heavily. She went and watched their game today and came back to the club for a bit, can't imagine what she is going through at all. A friend of mine who plays at a club 10 minutes down the road was crying as he was driving to our club tonight and he doesn't even play for us. I looked him in the eye tonight and he was almost in tears while we were talking about it and he doesn't even know the guy. One of my best mates cried on the phone while he was being told by his captain during the week, I played half a season with Levo last year and he was a bit weird but he was one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet. He certainly didn't deserve to have his time on this planet cut so short.
Levo was only 27 and had just turned his life around through getting a new job, getting a girlfriend and just staying out of trouble. No person deserves to go through something like that.

I'm guessing he's hungover.
No but I'd had a few beers when I posted. It was just a strange feeling, I was talking to Levo on Saturday Night when he was trashed (I'm the club's assistant barman) and we were just talking shit about teams and players and crap.
Five days later and he's not with us anymore. My mate got cleaned bowled by him on Tuesday at training and less than 48 hours later he's gone.
Just a very weird feeling overall.
