Son of attorney Robert Shapiro is found dead
October 14, 2005
LOS ANGELES -- The 24-year-old son of O.J. Simpson defense attorney Robert Shapiro died at a hospital after being found unconscious, and the coroner's office said he had tested positive for amphetamines.
Brent Shapiro, a University of Southern California graduate who had just enrolled in law school, died Monday. He was found unconscious the morning before.
Officials at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Hospital told the coroner's office that Shapiro had tested positive for the drug, said Lt. David Smith, a coroner's office spokesman.
''It's being considered an accidental death,'' he said.
An official ruling on cause of death will be made after toxicology results come back in eight to 10 weeks, Smith said.
Robert Shapiro and his office declined to comment. He was a key member of the "dream team'' that successfully defended Simpson against charges that he murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.

Police have yet to formally identify the woman but said after their initial investigations they were not treating her death as suspicious.
A post mortem examination to determine the cause of her death is due to be carried out on Monday, a South Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said.

So ... just because someone's death isn't nationally reported makes it ... insignificant? bullshit?
That's compassion for you ...

FYI, I never said that. YOU ALL are saying that because it WAS nationally reported, it's insigificant. What I said was, comparing it to obscure stock stories is wrong.

That's not what was said. She said "Just because someone's death ISN'T nationally reported makes it ... insignificant?"
She wasn't saying "IS reported", she said "ISN'T reported".
You're such a twat, FGT.
(Smells name-calling coming from FGT in advance)

If that's not what you said, you need to reword what you type. Or THINK of how it sounds when you enter things, because the 'insignificant' and 'bullshit' is EXACTLY what it sounds like.
Don't get upset at us because we can't read what you mean to say, but don't type.
PS - take an english class if you really have a problem with this
