Maggie Elizabeth McGraw: Who IsTim McGraws Daughter? For all she claimed she wanted to be known as Demri, not Layne's girlfriend, she rode that and took whatever she could from it. Youth fueled by fame and wealth is even more deadly. Mad Season, Layne's side projects/art, Jerry's solo work. Its just talk. And things like that. Hearing how so many of your friends relapsed makes it obvious just how addicting heroin is and how strong of a grip it has. Mara one of Dems good friends name was Mara! Thank you so much and its always great to hear that people are enjoying the website AND finding more about the truth compared to the hype. She said take her to Capital Hill to Rehab so he thought he was (per what he told me). It is heartbreaking and doesnt seem fair. Greetins from Brazil!:). He always kept saying that he had slipped. Most of what everyone heard then was nonsense. Club tells us, the year 1996 seems to have marked the start of his slow, sad downfall. Id cook up some favorite foods like my scampi tacos, phad Thai, smoked chix green chili enchiladas, and Layne loved his pot roast meal and Demri Fettuccine. An autopsy revealed that the singer and multi-award winner that his weight declined to 80 pounds. I believe. Addiction to herion, several heart operations leading to a pig valve heart as the last resort for survival, my own mother would have given up on me & say, You deserve to die. In contrast, Demris mother supported her through all the hospital stays, and was there for her in the end. I do believe in suboxone if you just use it for a short period and then detox off. She once called herself an alien waiting for a ride home., Around 97, Layne had moved to the U Dist. I am sober now and I understand this and it brings tears to my eyes thinking about how bad I was for all those years of stealing and lying to them and my mom crying worried if I was going to die. Layne e Demri no show do Pearl Jam.

Courtney Love tried to chase him down following Cobain's death. Someone asked for a video of Demrigot this from youtube its Demri and Layne singing together hope this helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQA98ZTJDTc. Chris Cornells recent death triggered something in me and Ive spent days reading through this site among others. I dont wanna see people anymore and its nobodys business but mine.. Stop!! WTF are you talking about? Ive read several places where it said he had braces on his legs to help him walk, but I think that is not true. I have seen people/myself go from great people to completely changed. Anything you have to say would be gratefully appreciated. Then I read this post and it all made sense who this Koa is and what her role might have been in their lives. I know Demri got endocarditis as a result of heroin use, and all of the trouble that caused her. We all were our suing a buzz in those days and the idea was to just be careful. I remember I was shooting video for Nancy at one of those tributes five years ago -shooting man on the street interviews outside, and Mike pulled up in a limo and talked to some of us , and we chatted but he was high as a kite. Im determined to fight this demon, and be a better daughter, sister, aunt and friend to those who love me. Tell them you love them every chance you get! REMEMBER Layne and Demri. Just let them know youll be there when theyre ready to get clean. At the time, Jerry was very understanding and more than supportive to Layne. Best Of Luck to you Ms. Jacqueline from Scotland. Death is forever and you are needed in this world. The photo of Demri on the couch in lingerie is at my apt on Queen Anne, the one Andy died at. Nationality: American I dont know. I dont know what happened after 99. Demri never grew up. I do not know how much truth there is in the message must have the attributes and say their name. Layne and Demri always thought I could help people get clean for some reason when I never did and Mike thought I could help by getting him on the show Intervention. Believe me they love you!! {{#message}}{{{message}}}{{/message}}{{^message}}Your submission failed. These talented people were all under the thumb of an evil drug addiction that tortured them and eventually ended their lives and heroin is not a drug you try once so if you want to be another tragic statistic..go ahead and try it only once but Ill tell you from my own personal experience being there when people have tried that it for the first time and very few successfully do that. It was drilled into him how his life and career would be over if she OD on his watch so he was afraid to have her around if she was using. Her smile, always sincere, always beautiful show who she was and how she was. She will forever be loved and missed. Unfortunately she died from a heroin overdose in 1996. I remember sitting in my room in Iceland in the early 90s, listening to all the grunge bands thinking Man..Id like to be able to live in the smack dab middle of all this madness, be chilling in Seattle with likeminded folks. Layne dated pornstar Tera Patrick in the 90s (she said so in her biography, she was 17 and worked as a model at the time) and also Simone Starr Farrow, the australian model (and then drug dealer). What a cute smile! So go to youtube and search for this: I feel as though we can no longer talk about Layne on any AIC sites and that he is slowely being weened off of all of them..so again & again, thanks, and love hearing your stories. Apparently, he found that lasting love with Dem or did he? I can only imagine what the music, art and fashion industries would be like today if they had both survived their addictions. "There is no f-----g way I'm going to do that," he shouted. "The same s--t was going on again.". I had an office in town and they kept bugging me to come over. I know I will personally miss Demri as long as I live but today marks the day that Demri was taken from us ALL forever. It was hard to tell because as many times as he said it was over, she was still going around town telling everyone that they had gotten married. "They were obviously coked out because they (the strippers) started b----ing up one side and down the other to the point where Layne actually told them to shut up because they were making it worse than it needed to be," according to one observer. I remember when Demri died people were using the phrase, "What a waste". I didnt get a album to hang on my wall which would have shown something for all the hard work. Michael was a really tall big guy. This is in response to what Liz said about Layne and Kurt, were they good friends? It seems like Demri was homeless, staying here and there. She said something to me, I said something back, and that was it. You have to completely get away from your environment you used in like the whole city you gotta find all new friends and you need to want it more then anything else!! Johnny was a Godsent to Layne. Also Layne hid that he used drugs even when people knew he didnt advertise it by being associated with it. Dont forget me though and please continue to be my angel; I know theres enough of you to go around for everyone. Hide the drugs!' They refered to her separately as a groupie who lied and tried to have sex with them and they said NO so she slandered them. So I just admit that I do not have the answers. He was not her boyfriend he was older than her parents, but he was in love with her and thought the were going to get married. If thats true then her story is skewed and should be viewed as such (thats a word of caution to the next intrepid armchair detective who gets this far) Its funny how the internet makes it possible for anyone with curiosity and an active imagination to dig up these stories and become fascinated with the lives of people theyve never met who have passed away. I feel a very strange connection to him, like I can almost remember bits and pieces of his life through my own eyes. More rehab for both. Thanks for the reply. I think this is Rachel that made Andys purple hand hat. I believe that their friendship was love as well as drug based. If you need to talk to someone when times get tough just shoot me an email my address is boggs128@aol.com and I will chat with you. There are very few happy endings for heroin addicts. I was here many years ago and it has really come a long way. Demri had family, many friends, and Layne, but she kept on running to the end. Staley remembered, I was trying to kick this habit out of my life and here comes this man asking for money to buy some smack., He finally kicked heroin use, and Im still fighting, Staley said resentfully. I hope that you come to this site again. Alice in Chains was opening for Van Halen on tour in 1991 when Staley, prompted by Parrott,. Demri did NOT get Layne into heroin. His career fell apart and so was Alice in Chains. The best thing you can do is dont freaking try it. Sounds like you are happy and settled now with your beautiful familyhave a good weekend xx, Barbara, Poor girl. LoveMara:). Theyd have taken her by the arms, and said, It has been very therapeutic for me over the years and it has helped to keep Demris memory alive and has introduced her name to so many who never knew who she was which was my original goal. I just wanted to share my story because i dont think alot of heroin addicts think about the other consequences that iving heroin can cause such as endocarditis. I really appreciate this site. My nickname growing up was AD so if it was shortened by her she would call herself little D. Dont know unless she was doing a rap thing if she did that with others but do remember her correcting people who did say Dem, not Demri even to me. We live in a world of selfishness. Not you.'". Demri Lara Parrott, 27, of Bremerton died Oct. 29, 1996, at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland. The reason Demri always stood out to me was that was always Demri. Will has a decent range but hes no Layne and that era has passed and theyre just not as good as they used to be, which leads me to believe that Layne was responsible for a lot of why old Alice in Chains kicked ass. Every addict Ive read about has said the same thing. Ughhh, whats the need? *sigh*. Staley struggled with addiction for much of his adult life and later died from a speedball overdose on April 5, 2002, at the age of 34.
