Death and Life of Dash Snow, Artist, Addict and Provocateur - NYTimes.com

WHEN the artist Dash Snow died of an overdose on July 13, stoned and alone at the Lafayette House in the East Village, detectives found the following items in his room: an empty can of Amstel Light, an empty can of Heineken, an empty bottle of Bacardi rum, three used syringes and 13 glassine envelopes emptied of heroin.

This is reminiscent of the "name your poison" Jack Kerouac/Allen Ginsberg/William S. Burroughs/Neal Cassady et. al. beat generation.
