Demri was super-funny and very forward. Demri didnt wear glasses like that girl. I was jealous of the model dip**** and I hated her. I also want to be straight up about why Demri, Layne, Rosheen and Mike are gone now theyre stories should never be romanticized. Demri was in and out of the hospital for the last couple of years of her life.At the time of her death, she was clean, but for her last hours, she was at a friend's house, who took her to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Washington, and recognized too late that she wasn't doing well on the pills she'd ingested. I got an errorto be continued, First I would like to thank you for this site. I have no doubt in my mind about that. Demri was born in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, in the United States of America's Pacific Northwest.She was the biological daughter of Kathleen Ann ne Austin and Dennis Wayne Dougherty, but at the time of her birth, her 18-year-old mother had been married to Stephen John Parrott, aged 21, for 21 days. Thank you for that ms. Susan. Personally I see it as a travesty that she has managed to get her name linked with Layne forever in some kind of tragic love story. In 1993, when the band was touring in support of "Dirt," Staley would walk offstage midsong to get high. Im grateful to be 19 years clean and sober and also I stopped before my body got thrashed ( although coke alcohol and pot were my drugs of choice, not heroin). I wish that Barcolas hadnt moved out. Ela faleceu em 29 de outubro de 1996 de endocardite, uma inflamao do corao, causada por uma overdose de herona, no Hospital Evergreen em Kirkland, Washington. So sorry to hear about your Dad too and believe me I understand how easy it is to go back to the only thing we know made us numb again. Every now and then Ill go through a phase where I read as much as I can about her, it never really feels like I know enough. That being said im not a crazed obsessed fan but I am aware of Demri and read her story through Barbara and Darin about 10 years ago right after my heroin addiction started. Demri had the help of her family and Layne, not something to ignore. Mind, I never knew him entirely well and I never saw him do it, but its what people were saying. Try whatever it takes and if youre NOT an addict then all you have to do is never try it in the first place!!! 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. For Layne to die was just sad and wrong, but for him to die alone was just an abomination. Staley then delved into his family life and how his father passed away after falling into a drug-filled route, with the two growing estranged. Believe me. xx. Chris Cornells recent death triggered something in me and Ive spent days reading through this site among others. Its extremely heartbreaking. Shane came along and started talking shit about how nobody commented on Oct 29th and I said people have their own lives to live meaning that I dont monitor this site every single day and I have relatives that have died and friends that Ive known personally that have died. I hope and pray that youre ok today, to live and tell more of your story. I am very sorry about your lossI hate cancer and congrats on doing good, keep strong.

She is proud of us the same way we are proud of her, and she loves us as we love her. Im not totally sure when that started to change. Mike met with her because when Layne got mad she refused his calls so Mike did it to tell her off and because he wanted to find out why he was ejected from the band and figured it was from Melinda and Sean breaking up. She was interested in philosophy and poetry, loved to collect vintage clothes, make decoupage, and play in front of the camera. My liver is not functioning and Im throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. Then I went back to Houston, where I was working at a nightclub, and the phone rang in the office. I know that he was at Jerrys 98 Halloween concert, and had thought about making an appearance there. Are there any pictures of her last months of her life / heroin days? I just hope you are able to get well again and I hope whatever happens you are able to find peace with it. I think the Laynes Place being referred to was the Ward Street house they both lived in with both of their stuff. Laynes father could have been that positive influence, but he only helped drive Layne to an early grave. I knew she was really Tell them you love them every chance you get! (Just noticed this now.) When he came back from tour he moved back in until the band went down to do Rock in Rio. Their friends warned against it, rehab for both many times. (Handout). It doesnt seem right to me that they continue the band because there is no improvement. Club tells us, the year 1996 seems to have marked the start of his slow, sad downfall. A fascinating existence to say the least. When did you lose hope, though? Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. That's what Layne is for me.

In the position he was in, its probably the only way he couldve had a lasting relationship. Typos. You may never read this, but I hope that you do, from a nothing person, who is just concerned and someone who cares. 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. But soon he was caught in an inescapable trap that led to his premature death in 2002. It was later revealed that he leaned more toward drugs so much so that he lost the ability to ingest food. I have noticed that Layne is very tall, upright in his earlier career. I miss you, Demri. Although I know that my parents did the best they could, I want more for her and never want her to feel how I have so many time. I was overwhelmed by the people touched by her. I have had major issues with drugs and alcohol (off and on) since I was in my early teens and I could have 100 people tell me that I could always visit or talk with them when Im feeling down however I always had a hard time with that because its hard to explain to someone if theyve never been there. by someone I never knew. Laynes riff with Jerry was for telling him he needed to go to rehab and not going himself, hearing Laynes solo music and taking it to the band and borrowing his 8-track and erasing his stuff with Maynard (I dont think Jerry noticed it was on there).

She had her friends, and Layne, who made sure someone was always there to look after her. made up, its like she takes on real situations and then adds ugly false details here and there.. yes I have read several times that Layne and Mark Lanegan lived together for a time. : ( T Triplemoonsbreath 699 followers More information Demri Parrott, with, I believe, her brother, Devin Remme (also deceased). God bless her, and God bless Layne, not just because I feel for them both, but because I hope that both are pain free in Heaven. but I cant help but wonder if he had stayed living there, if things wouldve been a lot better for Layne He wouldve have isolated himself in his ivory tower and died the way he did. In October of that year, his former girlfriend and fellow drug addict Demri Parrott died of bacterial . The singer spoke about how he went on a journey when he was 16 to find his father, but what he discovered made him not want to look any further.

It is believed that her death has overwhelmed Layne so much that he returned to addiction. Think about it like this who could write a book about you? Writing about my life and the lives of the people I lost and actually having people care enough to read and respond was a HUGE blessing for me. Layne and Demri's relationship made me come to terms with the fact that some people in your life will just drill a hole in your head and insert themselves there and there's nothing you can do to ever get them out.
