They have no idea what happened. Donald (sis' boyfriend) and their other roommate, Jeff, went to check on him (Nate) when he didn't get up this morning. He was naked (not unusual for him) and blue.

The cops are questioning them now and my sister just dropped Jeff's son off at my house to watch until the paramedics and cops are gone.

My sister said nothing was out of the ordinary last night. He went up to the gas station and bought a burrito, came home, ate it and went to bed.

They are in the process of being evicted from their house because 2 of them lost their jobs. Jeff and Donald were moving into a new place together, Candice is moving back home with my parents, and Nate was moving back home to Oregon this week. Donald and NAte spent the day together yesterday, as their last day to hang out.

They don't think he seemed depressed or too upset lately, but they have no idea if this was suicide or natural causes. He was only 28.

If you can send some Ts&Ps their way, please do.

Thanks for the Ts&Ps and kind words.

Jeff came and picked his son up after they were done questioning him and Donald at the station. He thinks he might have OD'ed, he didn't specify if on purpose or accidentally, but his reasoning was "cause there wasn't anything wrong with him". Neither he or Donald thought that Nate was depressed or suicidal though, so it very well could have been something like an aneurysm.

They can't go back to the house yet, the cops are still processing it like a crime scene until the cause of death is determined.

I'm concerned about the funeral arrangements for him. Donald and Nate were best friends for years. My sister is scheduled to be induced on Thursday due to strep. Donald might have to choose between being there for the birth of his child, or being there for the burial of his best friend.

I would think he'd be there for the birth of his child...
