demri parrott last photo

Well I highly recommend it. I can only imagine what the music, art and fashion industries would be like today if they had both survived their addictions. Crazy. I have changed it though to allow 3 and I have posted the videos for you.. all you have to do is post the link and it will automatically post the embedded video. She was also seeing this new guy that her family hadnt met. I think about 95% of it had to do with shame over what he had become. Very seldom been wrong. Then I read this post and it all made sense who this Koa is and what her role might have been in their lives. Kurt and Layne knew each other. Just rude and no respect Or those already gone like Demri and Layne.. best thing they can come up with is they have a life to live??? Layne later said that Demri wasnt too bothered by this, but I didnt know her then. I know its a picture and not a video but just thought Id share in case it could add to Layne and Demris pics. I recently watched the Andrew Wood documentary and your words had me in floods of tears. But she went one way for love, he another. Demri was bisexual, and she was a nudist. If you knew both it is obvious. Buttino also said Jesse Holt - who declined to be interviewed for this book - had to boost the level on Layne's vocals in the 1997 version . i recently posted this link on another demri question, but check out this site if you want to know about her. He went into rehab after that. Sorry if I missespelled something, english isnt my primary language. Layne picked it out for her because of the gardens. She very much held her own identity and path. God Bless your sobriety! That was her. But then I was never much more than a witness. Thanx though cool video.. they were all such dorks when it came to interviews. I cant stop wat other people write but I hate seeing stupid stuff written so flippantly on sites like tumbler twisting around good peoples word. If I can explain it, in words, in detail then a sober person MIGHT understand. Also I read somewhere that Layne wanted kids of his own is that true? I heard a lot of nice things about how Layne how he was a very down to earth person but, we need to remember we are all human and we all make mistakes in life. A Subreddit for anything Alice in Chains related. 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. What makes it better though is knowing that Layne and Demri, and her friend, Rosheen, are all together now, in each others company, waiting to reunite with the rest of their loved ones in eternity some day. Anyway, I think you hit the nail on the head when you explained why Layne did what he did. We all make mistakes in life, and Demri did struggle with addiction. Darin was there but I wasnt because I was in the process of having my first baby and didnt even know about it until it was too late because I was out of the social loop at the time.. SomeoneI dont want to say whobrought him some heroin because they couldnt find any coke. It didnt matter if I was exhausted. She didnt ask me, she didnt care. You were like a mom to them,making sure they were eating and breathing. Would anynof those be from 95 or 96 ? Your site is beautiful if I were computer literate I wouldve corrected the writer it is nice to set the record straight . She would have made it clear when she was in a better place to do so, not while one is kicking. Rare pictures show her to be tiny, soft-featured and pretty, with long brown hair and hazel-green eyes. Youre in my thoughts and prayers. 2nd have some compassion or can you not readI have just been told I am dying of cancer and yes I have kids too and am a single parent at that with bills as wellso I understand all to well and I too am a recovering addictI in no way was ugly to no-one whatsoever!!!!!! I caught myself thinking about her even when I was in a relationship. Sadly, another member of the 27 Club, Press J to jump to the feed. I can say that Kathleen and Rosheens Moms know each other and leaned on each other during that tough time when they both lost their daughters. I guess there is so little real information out there, so these kinds of stories become defacto fact. So thats what i have been doing staying clean. YES, IT IS POSSIBLE to get and stay clean but you have to do it for yourself. Then he drove to Bothell and unloaded the car at home and he couldnt get her to wake up. Demri lost that place in Feb. Because she could no longer afford the rent on her own. Yes, she died young, of mysterious circumstances, but she made a living for herself. Thanks for keeping this site up. Sorry I really wasnt trying to make this about me just stating that the daily struggle is so hard and it always helps to have those who have been there talk you through it. It is even hard this far out but so freeingI have terminal cancer and if I could I would have love to have given your daughter whatever it was in me to make this happen so she could be here with you Addiction is a disease and one we need to address in this country very seriously without all the judgementWe shall just pray for all the negative talk out there if there is and the ironic thing is that it is those that judge other addicts that will discover it is in their own family! Media can put entertainers on the highest pedestals and even encourage the descructive behavior, but drop them like hot potatoes or make matters even worse when the downward spiral goes into overdrive. *, I will pray for you and your family, God bless you Susan. She had open heart surgery and had a pig valve and pacemaker inserted in her heart in 1994. me too, i wonder what it is about her that's so magnetic! Seems like it takes much courage and heart to do so. She turned really different, and believe me when I say that she was not truly the person that she was becoming. His vocals cannot be matched. The first one who loved and protected Layne (Jerry had music, yeah a hundred guys did, but nobody had Laynes voice and it was amazing. But like Demri i have a death sentence hanging over my head because my heart could fail at any time. A google search for Demri and Layne brought me here at last. Some people are predisposed to addiction and so their story is written for them. The day I met Demri she was wearing them, along with cut-off jeans, and a cardigan shed had since gradeschool (apparently). Beautiful, dedication, Demri, Demri Parrot, Picture, Pictures, Rest in Peace. (Im sure this is an exaggeration but you get the idea.) Yes, she was sick from herion, but so was Marilyn. Marilyn Monroe. She is such a facinating person and it will be almost surreal to see her on video. FULL FILM: https://youtu.be/qMlLfrU5fjsAlice in Chains lineup throughout the Layne Staley era consisted of Layne Staley (87 - 98), Jerry Cantre. The drug grabbed a hold of me and before I knew it I was doing dumb shit to get my hands on it. Xana. Alice In Chains frontman Layne Staley and model Demri Parrott's relationship started as a fairytale but turned out a tragic love story that people can still remember. There's a lot of information about Demri and interviews with family and friends. Truly a loving person. Worth having a look my friend. Please I beg of you. Its also sad that she took Layne down that path with her. but I wanted to make a note on the message posted by D but written by koa know that runs online for about 8 years I know for sure because we put the message in alternativegrunge forum in Italy .. The facts, and I will allow myself to speak of them as facts, as I have 100% trust in Barbaras descriptions and tellings, are staggering. It could be her though because she would definitely go to that show and she did have long hair like that (although her hair was more wavy I think) and there were a lot of people coming up to her and talking which would mesh with how popular she was. Their friends warned against it, rehab for both many times. At that point people were comparing the drugs as to why it was only him. Pretty soon youre just doing it to feel normal and function and you dont even get high anymore or getting high gets harder to accomplish without having to do more then usual..and rarely can you even afford to get wellbut that is also how some addicts accidentally overdose..just trying to feel it or after theyve gotten clean for awhile..like after getting out of rehab, jail or detox and then they relapse and overdose because their tolerance has gone way down and they accidentally do too much.. Thats probably almost 80% of the reasons why an addict will overdose. This blog says everything I wanted to say! I think there's so much to love about her. Anyhow, over and out-just wanted that cleared up. Life is one thing after another, with drugs more so. ago These are the last photos of Demri taken 8 weeks before her death. Dem had gifts, she was not tortured she was a very old soul. Quite a few wrongs have been righted by the existence of this site, the amount of BS out there about these individuals is beyond belief. 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. What a true tragedy heroin addiction is. She introduced him to heroin, though he probably was doing other drugs before her, such as coke. Layne had told her that if she started using drugs again hed have to make her leave. I guess its possible that he dated someone else for a short time in between but everybody knows that heroin addicts have major issues with impotency so its not like he was gonna be grinding away with someone else. She goes into rehab and comes back to the car gets in and falls asleep while he runs errands. Like you said Barbara some things sound partially right. Yes, she was sick from herion, but so was Marilyn. God Bless your sobriety! I hate to stop before I am finished with something and will work 72 hours straight to get something finished no matter what even being my own boss. This is in response to what Liz said about Layne and Kurt, were they good friends? REED HUTCHINSON (Feast guitarist) Before Layne was going out with Demri, I got to know her through Demri died in October 1997, and you say that Rosheen died six months later. I know that he was at Jerrys 98 Halloween concert, and had thought about making an appearance there. They were always fine with my vegetarian dishes but I wanted to get some nutrients in them and meat on their bones, which is pretty much all I could really do to help. I dont think that her and Layne had a healthy relationship and I dont think it should be idealised. Believe me because I know. I feels like Demri realised too late and by protecting everyone and trying to avoid them any further pain, she decided to leave. Dear Susan, Bless you. Layne was flipping through the channels and stumbled on the John Edward show Crossing Over, on which a medium claimed to speak to audience members dead relatives. theres a black and white photo of Layne and a girl who looks like Demri, to me at least. To give Layne and Demri a fair and honest recording of their life stories. Demri did NOT get Layne into heroin. I love you. Someone who took many drugs, uppers, downers,narcotics, yet she always tried to better herself, in acting, in life. It is heartbreaking and doesnt seem fair. Layne was okay until the last night of the tour. What happened with that book, he had a really good chronological order of things. Layne and Demri were certainly worth knowing and there is so little about them out there. See more ideas about demri parrott, alice in chains, demri lara parrott. And Layne tried it, and he said that was the first time he really thanked God. Dear Barbara, thanks so so much for this post. Thank you for this enlightening website (I am an AIC fan), but most importantly, thank you for telling the truth about heroin and the catastrophe that follows it, you have done an outstanding job of scaring those who never tried it once, and as a result have saved countless lives, and saved families tragic pain and sorrow. But of course I would hate to spread any lies or speculation; if youre a friend or relative that somehow comes across this and would like anything removed please let me know. Hopefully others will not make the same mistakes that so many of us have. So anyways, yesterday I ran into so-and-so and blah blah blah. Sean was an alcoholic and Mike Starr was a drug addict. play a tattletale game. You know what he was like? Its easy for people to judge and if they can stick with you during good and bad thats a wonderful thing. Sure, that might work for a short while but ultimately addicts need more incentives in their life then how someone else feels and those two things shame and guilt can also completly back fire on family members who always seem to try this route too and it will just cause their addict to go deeper and farther into their addiction and they may begin to isolate themselves emotionally and physically away from the people who made them feel that way because they dont wanna let them down anymore or let them see the disgusting mess they know theyve become.. so theyll just remove themselves from their lives instead.. breaking everyones hearts including their own. Laura. 1). Layne was very true to Demri in his heart, but he related many, many wild touring adventures to me.. https://alice-in-chains.livejournal.com/103699.html?thread=559635#t559635, https://icepicksandnukes.com/2011/12/16/setting-the-alice-in-chains-record-straight/. Just saying that Demri could have done so much more. She was just honestly sweet and kind to literally everyone around her. >:(. That all makes total sense. The book was poorly written. watch?v=dBZm-_6Qa3k I hope and pray that youre ok today, to live and tell more of your story. She is not, as widely but wrongly believed, the woman on the cover of Alice in Chainss album Dirt, released on September 29, 1992, that is model and actress Mariah O'Brien. Covers. But as a fan who collects all kinds of memorabilia, it is nice to have. Then bring on the lying to hide it from everyone who loves you, bring on the HORRIBLE shame and actual disgust for yourself for turning into everything you had always looked down on or at least never thought youd become..a junkie. But if people who love Demri dont come to talk about her, other people will do, however, not always with good intentions and you know this! She wasnt out getting loaded and living it up thats Rachels story. Barbara It is so scary and so serious. I see a lot of conjecture and guessing about the nature of these relationships and its bugged me for years. May the heavens help you beat this cancer! I believe that although Layne loved her, and Demri loved him, they both had their own agendas for life, which unfortunately didnt mesh in the final turn of life. If boundaries are established upfront, some of these issues can be avoided. Alice in Chains manager Susan Silver told journalist Greg Prato in his book Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music that she was the one who went to Laynes apartment to tell him that Demri had died. Still makes me very sad to this day as well, some pain never goes away I guess. I miss Laynes voice so much, but I have to admit that I absolutely love Black Gives way to Blue (the song). Layne was tired of it and didnt want to do it anymore, and Jerry became very devious in his words and his actions. Or did others drive her to where she needed to go? I think this is Rachel that made Andys purple hand hat. At 26 she was wearing a pacemaker. I was jealous of the model dip**** and I hated her. Let their legacy be one of art and discovery, friendship and love. I wanted to also check in on you and see how youre doing with your recovery and your heart? God bless you all. Demri had a look that seemed to define the musical era, beautiful in a small-town way with her bright eyes, round cheeks, and curly hair. they're narcissists what fuck over and throw away everything good they have in their lives.. feel sorry for fuckers struggling to survive in the third world instead of overprivileged fucks who destroy themselves on drugs cos they're so obsessed with themselves and their inadequacies.. self-fulfilling prophecies.. gross.. when you really think about it. Demri Lara Parrott(February 22, 1969 - October 29, 1996) was best known for Demri Parrott her relationship with Layne Staley, the singer of rock band Alice in Chains. that doesnt makes us bad people! And we all know about Laynes death, alone in his apartment for weeks before anyone found him. My deepest sympathy to her family and you the friends. anyhow I do know for sure that he seemed shorter because his spine curved since he spent literally years in that position. Demri has haunted me on a regular almost daily basis since I first learned about her story. I realize this stuff is old news for you guys, but for people who are just coming to this subject (who have a passion to know the truth) the information via comments on this site is vital. I just come here to pay my respect to Demri passing anniversary. Drugs make you paranoid. Heroin isnt a social drug that you experiment with. I think what we could do for the fallen heroin addicts is change. Thanks for visiting the website and sharing the video but that video has been around for awhile and it is not Demri.. I hope this doesnt sound silly, but I pray to Andrew and Demri sometimes. I have the second version and it was at the bookstore and we got it for like $20 or so. Why didnt she stay home with her Mom when Layne wasnt around? There are none, at least not publicly released. . Trying to make this world we live in better for everyone. It is not easy because our brain chemistry is so damaged its hard to live life again with out it. It means so much to me. Sorry I meant to say decision! For Layne to die was just sad and wrong, but for him to die alone was just an abomination. In October 1996, Staley was deeply shocked by the death of Demri Parrott, the vocalist's long-time girlfriend and fellow drug addict. He directed me to your site which is beautiful. Oh man, the Koa story. It was copied and posted to several different places. Mind, I never knew him entirely well and I never saw him do it, but its what people were saying. Thank you for that ms. Susan. Demri was born in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, in the United States of Americas Pacific Northwest. They began dating a short time after they saw each other. im not an angel either, no one is, but alchohol is my stupid drug, whish it wasnt so, makes you fat and sick. 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. A little flower wild child girl who wont be never ever forgotten and will be for ever and for always loved and missed. She loved creating decopage with 30s and 40s vintage style images cut outs from wrapping paper or old greeting cards. Ive also met some true asshole addicts but they were usually born that way. Then again, all the dealers would come to his house anyway, because, hey, he was Layne Staley. I dont know how it is nowadays though. Everything has already been said here, but I want to thank you personally. I want to protect her from the despair, shame, guilt, pain, and the rest of the feelings that go hand in hand with drug addiction/mental illness. They were eventually engaged to be married. Christy the drug dealer lived behind the QFC and so did Paris. (1969-1996) model, artist, grunge icon, beautiful soul This is the kind of ridiculous talk he put up with from people who claimed to like him. They have many members,some who knew Layne personally,and they are always being updated with member participation. You lose the internet Susan bc you obviously dont give a shit about other people that have to concentrate on sobriety every day, work a full time job, pay bills, take care of kids, etc. What does that tell you? I just came across this site, and Im stilled to my core by the haunting beauty in these photos and the story of Demri and Layne, and so many others in her world. Hi Barbara, I was just checking in to see if there are any new posts an I noticed your comment about the books. Merry Christmas to you. Hopefully be a soulful powerhouse like him. I originally posted feeling pretty down and Im sorry I vented about personal feelings that only tangentially had anything to do with Layne. Then management needs to discuss the contents with the bandlet them know its a brotherhood or sisterhood. She died that night with her mother and aunt by her side. Barb just saw this quote from Kathleen on PaperPortraiture website: I was saddened to see so much misinformation still out thereI am responding to the post of 10/29 Remembering etc. By the way she didnt like her name shorted she loved the unique name of Demri. . Demri was well known and had numerous friends that she touched with her charismatic and enchanting personality. I loved Layne and Demri was a beautiful girl and the whole situation is tragic and if they survived maybe rock would still be mainstream. They were trying to treat her endocarditis for the last 2 years and she had a pace maker at 26 but the H had a serious hold on her, too. Thats when he came back and Demri left. Just because we cant see something/someone, doesnt mean theyre not there. Having the time of their lives, without drugs, and living things up with harmony, peace, and love. I noticed the list of books on the home page and decided to go check out Everybody Loves Our Town by Mark Yarm at our public library. I find it hard to believe. Thank you for sharing. . Please answer, so that I may know that youre ok. All my love, Laura. I guess anyone could do the research and read all the interviews and maybe even talk to the people who knew them but no one is going to get it completely right. And thank you for your website. Heroin is a beast of a drug all its own in short or in laymans terms..it ruins your ability to be naturally happy. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Im not sure if this message goes to Barbara, or not. She had allegedly accepted that drugs would kill her, and so she continued to use. The distance between how young, beautiful and full of life Demri was in this pictures, and how much pain and suffering she must have suffered later in life, based on what you have shared, is so huge. If so, what kind. Though he did pay for her drug treatment. And did you ever see Mad Season play live? I hope your doing better. Think about it like this who could write a book about you? Not just a story about Layne and Demri. Its not like you can just sit around the house for 2 weeks and suffer life doesnt allow it and if you dont have great insurance the rehab isnt taking you either. But miraculously i stabilized and had open heart surgery to replace my valve..im so sorry this is so long but im not done yet. 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 bumped into this web site and it was a very nice memorial for Layne and Demri. But Demri seemed to live an existance of from here to there, no where to run, but her mom had a home waiting just for her. Her cause of death was an accute intoxication and the combined effects of opiate, meprobamate and butalbital. Alright, I apologize then and I am very sorry to hear about what your going through. Me and some other fans have read nearly everything we could find on Layne and there has not been a mention of any girlfriend except Demri. That is a horrible excuse some addicts may use to treat people badly, steal from people they know or physically hurt people.. thats all on them still. But it is possible with hard work and TIME. Demri Parrott died on October 29, 1996, due to an infection (bacterium) that led to death, due to the use of drugs (sharing a dirty syringe / needle). Demri didnt wear glasses like that girl. While watching Crossing Over, Layne turned to Mike and said, Demri was here last night. Demri died on Oct. 29th of 96 of a heroin overdose. To be honest Leah.. It might have been here. I can understand that to a degree, but we were pals, and I wasnt gonna I wish Demri had that same desire, to want to be an actress/model, who read books, studied acting. I didnt even know it was even possible to be that naturally beautiful. Barbara D. I wish they were still hear every time I listen to him sing I cry its so sad Ive been fighting my addictions for 20 years its a daily struggle but the music keeps me alive for now I pray there together energy doesnt die the spirit is forever. Hey Barb if Dem were alive today, what do you think shed be doing? Michael was a really tall big guy. Im confused. Certain parts of this story are definitely true. On the other hand I also dont flatter myself that I could have done something for him; I just dont know if I was that important. But, how did it happen? Haha! She did not come here to learn any lessons she came to teachshe taught unconditional LOVE and from what I can tell she continues to do so..Do not place any attachment or story to my mothers headstone for Dem that story will come out after my mom is no longer around.. that is another story Thanks for the oppurtinity to set a few things straightI know the misinformation did not come from you sorry if I appeared to be venting perhaps I was a little. Im her age, a Seattle native and recently lost my sister to heroin. It was just so shocking and upsetting. If memory serves, her mother was a counselor while Demri was alive. She had three younger half-brothers from her mothers side, Devin Remme, and Derek and David Murphy; and a younger half sister from her biological fathers side, Christa Dougherty. A bit like the tutu story . That person that did comment bitched because nobody else did when they should have simply offered condolences or said something sweet but nooooooit was an asshole post. I hope it helps you as well. Im all up for experimenting with certain things with responsability but heroine, cocaine, meth and those kind of drugs are out of the question. When I was on dope I just didnt care and all that mattered was how I was going to get better or keep from being sick it wasnt even about getting high anymore because it would take $500 to vet high once for a couple of hours. If people wanted to not just voice their opinion and get their hands dirty they could have, they chose not to and got jealous of the ones that did. Movie posters. Once Kurt gave Layne a ride somewhere and talked about his daughter Frances and Layne said that he was so excited about her. Thank you for this wonderful website. Barbara you are right on that they suffered from a fatal disease- and also right that drugs arent worth dabbling in. Dealers came to them. Parrott was born in Bremerton, Washington to Kathleen Austin and Dennis Dougherty on February 22, 1969. Id love to hear your take on any of them if you do read them though. she looks really different than in her other photos, still pretty, just a little rough and worn down. Random. Why wouldnt she stay with Layne, or anyone, always running, to and fro, even before she got sick? Layne was around more drugs due to his lifestyle. But not anymore. It sucks that NOBODY commented other than the one person but most people are so busy they dont even know its Oct 29th. Haha. I wish Demri had that same desire, to want to be an actress/model, who read books, studied acting. Addicts not necessarily.
