Crewe heroin addict Martin Kidd found dead with stab wound

“My heart goes out to his family, who he as left behind. maybe he took the easy way out of pain and suffering. Clearly at 43 he should of come to his senses but never did. this was once someone,s glass of water that may be messed up. R I P”

“A rare and thought-provoking comment from the medical profession (Dr Paris). Well done, Doc.”

“One jobby less .”

“A sad and lonely death. I do not judge! We are all like a glass of water when born: pure and with a positive future. Most humans pollute this purity with alcohol , undesirable foods, drugs, unhealthy life style etc. We are all just chemical balances and reactions.”

“bet he was gutted”

“"This man was clearly unstable and in need of further counseling and/or psychiatric support.."

At aged 43 having been a baghead for twenty years, I rather doubt he was ever going to become a functional and contributing member of society. All the psychiatric help in the world wouldn't have helped this bloke, he was a weak-minded smackhead who didn't want to give up his magic brick dust. He'd have done himself in sooner or later, either on purpose or by accident. At least in the end he had enough about it to put an end to it of his own volition, instead of shambling around the streets or going on the rob.”

“Death seems to cure addicts of their addiction.”

“Response from Dr. Philip Paris
It is always painful to read of the death of a patient suffering from opiate addiction. But it again reminds us of the desperation often felt by those afflicted. For this man, methadone maintenance was part of the treatment approach. But a question must be raised about their treatment process. In the USA, federal regulations permit a two week pick up schedule, but only when the patient is clearly in a stable phase of treatment. This man was clearly unstable and in need of further counseling and/or psychiatric support.”
