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. Demri was born in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, in the United States of Americas Pacific Northwest. if you knew what junkies were like you wouldn't be romantising this shite. Barbara, Im confused. So that would be nice. when the crew were dealers too. How did her kids get so involved with drugs and addiction? And actually now seeing how long this thread is and the content I am not interested it at all. I didnt wish to get in an argument here I dont think its appropriate but I think it was just a misunderstanding. Shane came along and started talking shit about how nobody commented on Oct 29th and I said people have their own lives to live meaning that I dont monitor this site every single day and I have relatives that have died and friends that Ive known personally that have died. They went down to QFC and he asked her to wait in the car while he ran into the store to buy a few things. Yes, she was sick from herion, but so was Marilyn. "he would never talk badly about her and apparently it was the same with her. Tom has two versions. The did accept him but it never worked out. But with Demri Im not alone, and there are so many people who, like me, only know her through pictures and stories and are similarly fascinated by her. Demri Parrott was an American model. Addiction is no joke, I go to med school so I spend a lot of time in the hospital and its just awful what being addicted to something does to people. Thank you for that! Makes me wonder whether genius will always, without exceptions, come with an enormous cost. The couple was already separated at that point, and while Staley had plenty of rock star money to finance his habits, Parrott's lower funds forced her to ultimately sell her body in order to finance her drug use. Hey there! She is too tall.. too lean wrong body type.. cant see her face.. wrong hair.. wrong clothes.. just not her. Then there was some stuff with his mother that I just cant share here. Ill do what I want! She was her own being, she did what she wanted, to the point that her tiny body couldnt take it anymore. I found this online, in case some of you havens seen it before. Addiction to herion, several heart operations leading to a pig valve heart as the last resort for survival, my own mother would have given up on me & say, You deserve to die. In contrast, Demris mother supported her through all the hospital stays, and was there for her in the end. Yes, she was sick from herion, but so was Marilyn. Truly a loving person. Layne helped him a lot in a lot of ways. For all the site! Having the time of their lives, without drugs, and living things up with harmony, peace, and love. I was the only one with a real job and I should have been saving to travel but spent it on making Andy look amazing and it irks me to think someone is claiming to have made his hats! Such a sad story. Just stop! He moved to the U District, to a condo right above this tavern called the Blue Moon. Songwriting abilities have nothing to do with personality. But I hope that you will. It speaks volumes about this site that a guy sitting in his living room in Iceland in 2017, can read through it and feel as if he were a fly on the wall in all these parties and gatherings. Theres a youtuber named Kristina who has a channel called FullyRawKristina who makes videos about raw veganism, even though a lot of her videos are receipe videos which may be high in fat and should not be eaten too often of they have a lot of fat, but her videos are a place to start. How can two people that loved one another so much come to this, is a question that all of us fans have asked at different times. Your site is beautiful if I were computer literate I wouldve corrected the writer it is nice to set the record straight . Thank you and I am sorry too just been very emotional lately with all going onno disrespect to this wonderful page or people. She wasnt out getting loaded and living it up thats Rachels story. Laynes riff with Jerry was for telling him he needed to go to rehab and not going himself, hearing Laynes solo music and taking it to the band and borrowing his 8-track and erasing his stuff with Maynard (I dont think Jerry noticed it was on there). Shes perfect in every way. Rosheen was clean at the time and doing awesome.. but then she relapsed and on June 19th 1997 she passed awayshe was only 22 years old. The site is great, the pictures are beautiful, and it so wonderful that we can remember them. Thanks again!! It is possible. The EMTS never did anything but save your friends life. So sorry to hear about your Dad too and believe me I understand how easy it is to go back to the only thing we know made us numb again. So . Anniversary of Dems passing & a note from her Mom, Darin Lamb One of Layne Staleys Best Friends. That time he was upset because he felt everyone in the band should be at Rehab and it really pissed him off to be singled out esp. Later, as he got deeper into heroin, he almost seemed stooped over and maybe a little bow legged in AICs last concerts in 96. Its even worse when you have a lot of responsibilities to take care of because you find yourself stuck to where you have to keep using to try and keep up with those responsibilities and it works at first but it tricks you and then you loose everything if you dont loose your life. I moved thousands of miles away, he changed his email address and, though we spoke on the phone a few times since then it was only about little things. God bless you all. But, success is no good, if theyre not here. But she went one way for love, he another. *Please watch her video called What the Cancer Industry doesnt want YOU to know and her video called Terminal Brain Cancer Cured On Raw Food. Thanks for setting the record when it needs to beK, COMMENT LEFT ON ORIGINAL POST: DARIN LAMBS GUEST POST ONE OF LAYNE AND DEMRIS BEST FRIENDS AND MY EX-BOYFRIEND, On this anniversary of Dems passing I just want to thank all of you especially you Barbara, Darin and Fabiola for making these bittersweet days a little brighter.when I am aching and missing her I can come here, .Perhaps my niece will write about Dems life it seems some folks are interested.but Ill need you guys for those times.we were so close as you knowthe misinformation and assumptions out there just doesnt get itthanks for truthlove you kathleen, COMMENT LEFT ON ORIGINAL POST: DARINS GUEST POST COMMENTS. He was like Laynes pimp, only he couldnt get Layne to work. It steals everything from us including everything that makes us who we are the things we love about ourselves and then it takes our very last breathe before we even know how far gone we are. Hi Barbara, I was just checking in to see if there are any new posts an I noticed your comment about the books. I dont update it much but sometimes I add to the pages more.. like I did this one recently. I respect that. It was copied and posted to several different places. 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. My daughter was actually a big reason why I fell into darkness because her mom was making my life miserable and it made me feel absolutely worthless and then I would get high bc then I wouldnt think about it. But Demri did start using drugs again, and instead of asking her to leave, because then she would really be in trouble, Layne took a hike. But my son also dabbles in drugs. She did what she wanted to do, and the friends she left behind are crying at her memory. It was hard to tell because as many times as he said it was over, she was still going around town telling everyone that they had gotten married. Its so sad to hear that she wasnt in one place for long. I know Barb and so many others that knew Demri and Layne and were close to them, loved them dearly and that they are both very much missed. Yes, I like both men and women. It is heartbreaking and doesnt seem fair. God bless them both, may both be in Heaven with G0Ds good graces falling upon them. I thought here may be a good place. There is a thin line between being a friend and being a parent. Layne and "Demri's" families have the right to mourn them with dignity and they have a right to remember their loved one's through very rose tinted glasses. American Model (Adult/Glamour) Demri Parrott passed away on 29th Oct 1996 Evergreen Hospital, Kirkland, Washington / Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USA aged 27. I always hope to be able to tell myself if I become terminal someday that death is a part of life and hopefully itll bring me some comfort and I will look at it a different way. She had allegedly accepted that drugs would kill her, and so she continued to use. The surgeon wants me to prove ive been clean for 9 months before she will do it. Regardless, you have done great justice to remembering your friends. That is good news. My tricuspid valve was infected and a large vegetation had grown on it. One story has Demri trying to kick drugs & dating a coke dealer in the final days of her life. Jerrys almost entirely about money, or at least he was 3 years ago. There are people who say this cured their cancer. Demri never moved in. Still makes me very sad to this day as well, some pain never goes away I guess. Anyway I feel for both of them. 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. I have fell of the wagon a couple of times because I will wait for an excuse to do it. She never tapped it seemed.. no matter how horrible the circumstances got she could deal with it. However, their addictions caused damage to the relationship and they broke off their engagement. If you call 911, he wont be your friend. I love this picture of Dem.. her hair.. her style..her attitude and her smile.. everything that made her Demri is in this picture. Demri had a cat, Sadie. Beautiful, dedication, Demri, Demri Parrot, Picture, Pictures, Rest in Peace. She didnt want to be known asLayne Staleys girlfriend, but she started to be known this way. Im trying to post a comment and a link to a video, but all that appears when I try to publish it in this site is: your comment is awaitting moderation!! Im sure that hes sad, Im sure he feels it. She did not need makeup to shine. When Layne would relapse or even admit to weakness in the last few years that I knew them Jerry would get very patronizing and very smug. I know this is an old ass post and comment but I agree, this post is weird as fuck. if she had no association with Layne Staley you wouldn't give a fuck about her. I dont remember the exact story Lanegan told in Sing Backwards and Weep, but seems to me that after she got the pacemaker, she left the hospital (possible with an IV pole?) You are a survivor and your story is so important, especially to those that struggle xx, Hi Barbara, just wanted to share this video with you, just in case this photo in it is Demri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlGZfqQzpvU. made up, its like she takes on real situations and then adds ugly false details here and there.. yes I have read several times that Layne and Mark Lanegan lived together for a time. My hope is people considering trying heroin or opiates in general just one time will read your story and Demris story and think twice. So thats what i have been doing staying clean. She said something to me, I said something back, and that was it. This was probably 91. I was a weird kid because I liked all different types of music that kids my age didnt like because it was considered uncool. One of his friends told him that hed had an image of Layne trapped in an airplane as it filled with smoke (what a thing to say!) LoveMara:). Demri never grew up. So we run back to the thing that we thought made us happy again and then after a while that does not even work anymore. And there used to be a girl in my life who reminds me of Demri a lot. What do I have to do? I dont give a fuck if you fucking believe me or not, dude. Demri was five feet tall and tiny, and Xana was six feet tall and, like, Amazon. 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. My sister also was an addict and passed away in 2008. Writing your own book would be such a trip..imagine visiting the old places and mentally putting yourself back there to get into that mind frame to write.how bitterweet. Haha! I cant put my finger on it, but it wasnt what I wanted out of a $200 book. When he came out, he assumed that she was asleep. Let this be a good story to stop people from picking up for the first time. Its nice to see this page and realize how much she was loved. Demri didnt die till the morning of the 29th, in her mothers arms at the hospital. They have it, although I have not seen it in the display but I do have the paperwork from the curator. HML from what I understand, Layne spent a lot of time in the slumped forward position while he was nodding when heroin users experience their rush and then get sleepy they sortof nod off and then wake up and then nod again He used for so long and slumped forward a long time and that affected his posture and height. We were buddies and got closer when he was engaged to Miranda because he really wanted to do right by her. That doesnt mean nobody cares that simply means people have priorities. Demri Parrott was engaged to Layne Staley (1992 - 1994). They dated for 2 years after getting together in Mar 1988. In no way did I mean to upset anyone on this site. Being and ex-heroin addict myself, I know first hand the trials and tribulations that come with doing hard drugs, trying to keep a relationship going with my addicted girlfriend, and playing in a rock band, all at the same time. I know that he was at Jerrys 98 Halloween concert, and had thought about making an appearance there. Sadly, another member of the 27 Club, Press J to jump to the feed. I hated that no one knew who she was. Back in April when Rachel heard Demri had a zero % chance to live she made a B-Line to the hospital to make sure, as it was questioned repeadily and probably gave Demri incentive to live. Layne is one of my favorite musicians and as soon as I saw and read about Demri, its easy to see why she was loved by so many and still is! Youth fueled by fame and wealth is even more deadly. If something seems amist, you need to stay on top of the situation or find someone who can. This is the kind of ridiculous talk he put up with from people who claimed to like him. Just curious, why isnt Rosheen amongst the loved ones mentioned in Demris obituary? 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. Layne had told her that if she started using drugs again hed have to make her leave. But also open dialogue about drugs and continued thinking of the young that this could never happen to them. They seemed happy in most of the photos taken of them back when they were together. Mrs. Austin, you tell of how Demri suffered, how she had gifts, it was her calling in life to teach and not to learn and to give unconditional love to all, yet you put her grandmother and the headstone that she made for Demri, down. I went through and read all the Layne/Demri parts when I first got the book, too. Who is the other girl with her on the couch? Both Demri and Layne became drug addicts, hooked to heroin. 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. Hopefully its still like that because its important that addicts be able to call for help without worrying theyre gonna go to jail. Take care, They both died alone, I know Demris mother and Aunt were with her, but in truth, everyone dies alone. But it did allow me to come over for several days and get things clean a tidy, although Demri was always a neat freak around me.
