When Daniel (Danny Boy)Wil
liams was interred last Thurs
day, most people were under
the impression that he had died
of a drug overdose (OD). How
ever, Wake County Medical Ex
aminer Dr. WAV. Hedrick said
Tuesday that aspiration was
the cause of death.
Aspiration is a term indicating
vomiting in a victim which goes
to his lungs, shutting off the
ability to breathe.
Shortly after Williams* death
at 1:30 p.m. Saturday August
7, reports hit the streets that
Raleigh had counted its first
death from a drug overdose,
which is questionable. There
after, The CAROLINIAN talked
