Nik,
I am Jonathan, Kenneth's brother. I'm sending you this email because yours is the last in Kenneth's Facebook inbox, and it is a "heart," so I'm assuming you and Kenneth were close. I looked for other emails here in his address book but none of the obvious are to be found. I'll trust you to be discrete with the information I am about to give you, and share it with only people who Kenneth would want knowing it.
This morning my Dad and I found Kenneth on the floor of the den, barely breathing. We called an ambulance and they took him to the hospital. They aren't sure exactly what, but apparently Kenneth overdosed early this AM on some narcotic. He is in ICU now, and it was not clear, as of when I left a few hours ago, whether or not he will wake up, or what kind of state he will be in if he does. I know some of you on Facebook are very close to Kenneth. and he would probably want you to know.
Like I said, please be discrete and only share this with the few who Kenneth was especially close with or who he would especially want to know as opposed to people who would be interested or you might be tempted to tell about it. I guess I mean people who Kenneth cares about and who care about him, I don't really want to make an opportunity for gossip.
Thanks
Jonathan
