The article pretty much rules this out, no idea where you got the foul play angle from:
> "Lori Greenberg, his mother, said Monday he had no health problems and she was told by police who investigated Sunday night that there was no evidence of foul play, injuries or drugs."

- alexqgb 11y agoWhen I was in high school, an exceptionally popular varsity athlete was killed in his sleep by an anyurism. It was profoundly shocking to realize that things like that could - and did - happen.
- dpark 11y agoSeemingly-healthy 28 year olds don't typically die at all, much less in non-obvious ways. An unexpected death rarely involves foul play. I'm sure the police are not ruling out possibilities at this point, but I'm equally sure that they are proceeding with the most likely avenues first.

- rosser 11y ago"No evidence" != "ruled out".
- nocman 11y agoActually, I wouldn't say the article rules out foul play at all. It simply states that the police found no evidence of foul play. People can be killed in ways that are difficult to trace, especially before there is the benefit of autopsy results. I am not suggesting that this is what happened in this case, I'm just saying that it is far from entirely ruled out.

- mahranch 11y agoThat's a bit misleading. It says there was no evidence of drugs but then goes on to say that the toxicology report would take 2-3 months. They probably just didn't see any drugs lying around. If he didn't have some sort of undiagnosed medical condition, he may have very well OD'd on something. Research chemicals, xanax and opiate combo, etc... It's fairly common for people to OD on those things and they're all readily available.
- michaelfeathers 11y ago> It says there was no evidence of drugs but then goes on to say that the toxicology report would take 2-3 months. Hard to believe it takes so long in the 21st century. Is that bureaucracy or science?
- arthurcolle 11y agoProbably just their estimate of the toxicology backlog in Gainesville so bureaucracy.
- copperx 11y agoI know a lot of startup founders use stimulants like Adderall or modafinil to be more productive. It's not uncommon at all.
- bigtunacan 11y agoToxicology results often take that long depending on how extensive the testing. Also people always jump right to the conclusion that drug abuse is suspected when they hear this. In a person his age and health with an unexpected death this type of test can be pretty standard and is often at the discretion of next of kin. These tests can help determine drug interactions and maybe assist someone in the future. To give an anecdotal story. I use Diazepam to control muscle spasms and cramps caused by a neurological disorder. I took my kids to an amusement park and took Dramamine (over the counter motion sickness medication) so I wouldn't get sick on the rides. About 20 minutes later I was a complete zombie, so bad I sat down and could not get back up because I was in such a stupor. Turns out these two drugs have some serious interactions with each other, including sudden death and heart failure. To this day I consider myself lucky.
