I just don't think his death was program related in exactly the same way some other deaths were, in other words, the "programming" did not cause his bowel infarction, as in Michelle and others' deaths, and probably some of you as well.
Are you certain? I did a brief search, will do more later. Infarction is extremely uncommon in young people, more a condition of the elderly. A total blockage due to constipation is a common cause of infarction.
Have you researched the drugs he was taking to determine if they cause constipation.

What was the nature of his diet? Enough fiber- fresh fruit and veggies?
Was he provided enough water? Was wilderness or extensive outside time in extreme heat without adequate water, part of his 'treatment'?
Ian August's drugs certainly played a part in his death, but the program was also negligent in providing him adequate water.
Was he ever denied access to the bathroom when nature called? Yeh, it happens.
If your voice is being heard so well, why isn't this headline news? why is it so hard for parents to get valid information? Why can't I even find a state by state database of the program deaths? There will be one soon.
I have an extensive list of deaths in Excel dating back to 1980. I'd be happy to share that with you. PM me if you're interested. My list contains more names than Barbe's list, but I'm certain it's not conclusive. Many accounts are never published in the media.
Of course I researched the drugs he was on both before and after his death, although I do appreciate your concern. He was hydrated, he was not constipated, he gained weight at Youth Care and ate well, he was not in a wilderness program, he was in a group home, if he was denied use of the bathroom, he would have just peed in the living room. I know, he did it more than once! He was home for the full week before his death, so I know for certain he was healthy 5 days before he died. I grilled the coroner, and got opinions from other doctors, including my son's family doctor. I know many of the deaths are related to the treatment/programming, whatever you want to call it, but this was pure medical neglect. Makes it simpler to make them accountable. It also helps that he was never a recreational drug user, and his frequent labs and autopsy bear that out.
I would love to have your list, thank you, you can email it
justiceforbrendan@hotmail.com. I am going to use Barbe's list to get a state by state listing, I'll combine the 2 lists, and also add info, if given, about ASD's. These statistics WILL get published in the media. I wil buy full page ads in the LA and NY Times if I have to.
I'm a mom, not a moron. I'm sure some parents might just roll over, but I'm not one of them. PB mom, remember?
They picked the wrong kid to F--- with I assure you
