Coroner's report on Brad Renfro

Cotjockey · January 21st, 2008, 06:59 PM

It's being reported here in Knoxville that the coroner's report said Brad died from "complications" from a large
tattoo he had done recently; an enormous tattoo all over his back!

Though people here are speculating it was a suicide by drug OD because the huge tattoo all over his back said,
FUCK Y'ALL (spelled exactly like that).

Brad's funeral is tonight and his burial tomorrow.

Must say, kudos for most original suicide note ever.

This can't be serious. He died from getting a tattoo that said that! Well, it was him who got fucked, wasn't it? SMH

Lol. Is this for real? It's so ridiculous that I cant stop laughing. It's like someone has just made that up.

wuuuut? that's weird. o_O

Ha! Will he be turned face down to display the message to the funeral attendants?

His parents weren't in total shock about his death, they've told reporters here that "the worst they had expected had finally happened" and they said they'd like their privacy during this time.

Here's a photo of Brad & his mom outside the courthouse in Knoxville when he was busted for DUI & weed in 2001.
He really went downhill fast to only be 25 yrs. old.

The news here is saying "complications from such a large tattoo."

We're all like... WTF!?!

For real? How does that even happen? Like, blood poisoning or something??

msdeb · January 21st, 2008, 07:20 PM

i'm thinking something else besides the size of the tat. my friend has an enormous taj majal on his back and he's still alive.

AnuMom · January 21st, 2008, 07:21 PM

well maybe it got infected and then turned into sepsis....that will kill you quick...

Yes that's possible. But if he really did die from that alone then I'm shocked. It sounds very odd to me.

if that's the truth, that's the weirdest cause of death I've heard in a while

I still can't believe he's dead, he was far too young to go, and he was very talented

IMO it was probably a suicide OD and that was his final goodbye note.

Unless somebody is feeding the local news some bs, his cause of
death is being reported that way since late this afternoon.
The family hasn't made Brad's funeral private for tonight either!
