Constructive Manslaughter is the main charge, with a few other charges of possession of a controlled substance, distribution, etc. The ring leader is charged, two are charged with accessory/possession, the boy who helped Zander will not be charged, as my sister asked no charges because he helped Zander. I can't really talk much about the legal aspects because it's in the early stages. As days pass, we find out more ... such as the headache Zander had prior, that at 11pm he wanted to come home, he rode with one of the friends...if he had driven, maybe this wouldn't have happened. The parents refused to drive him home that late. Out of frustration, Zander and the ring leader had an altercation, resulting in a headache afterward. Basically, Zander was stuck in hell with no way out. Why didn't he call me or his mom, why? Night blind, or not, I would have driven to get him!
The absolute worst part of this that was told to us, was Zander was in anaphylaxis from the methadone and had an epi pen he carried daily due to his allergies from insects, foods, etc. but one of the boys used his epi pen to try to get high (the bad kid that gave him the meds) and that pen could have bought Zander some time.
Between 1-2 am Zander collapsed after taking the meds, he had scratches on his neck where he was fighting to get air, itching from the swelling in his throat. Only one boy, one, decided to wake the parents and get help. The others were assholes who wanted to conceal their drug use instead of helping Zander. Sad, selfish.
Zander saved 5 lives. We know a 13 year old girl will recieve his liver, but don't know whom else, just know his gift of organ donation is going to help others live a long time.
Zander passed peacefully at 11:15 am yesterday morning. My poor sister had to be sedated. She is not taking this well, just like I didn't when my baby boy was murdered. Two lives taken in a tragic way, I'm just numb. Zander lived 18 years, to which he touched many lives. He donated his change for xmas gifts for needy kids every year. He cut the old lady's grass for free. He had such a good heart, he didn't care about fitting in.
He loved the Vaselines, Nirvana, Oasis, Soundgarden, The Pixies, REM, old punk bands/alternative music.
Memorial service song will be:
All apologies by Nirvana , Zander used to make me sing that song to him, he really felt as if we all were one, and should be who we are no matter what society says.
Thanks again for listening and the support. I am in tears, cried all night, time to go to funeral home.

What a fucking sack of shit that guy is, he deserves to OD or lose someone close due to someone being as stupid as he is.
