Man, I can't even imagine what the family's going through right now. No doubt it was a complete accident and I feel bad for Aaron.

The brother of NHL tough guy Derek Boogaard was charged on Friday in connection with the prescription drugs the former enforcer had taken before his death in May.
A complaint filed to the Hennepin Country District Court in Minnesota alleges 24-year-old Aaron Boogaard gave his brother Oxycodon on the day of his death.
According to the complaint, Aaron Boogard gave his brother an oxycodone pill before going out to several nightclubs on May 12.
Derek Boogaard, 28, was found dead in his Minnesota condo on May 13. A Minnesota medical examiner ruled that he had died accidentally because of a fatal mix of alcohol and oxycodone.
Boogaard had been sidelined as a New York Ranger during the previous NHL hockey season because of a concussion.
The defendant allegedly told police he was holding Oxycontin and Percocet pills for his brother and did not believe he was in pain when he gave him the pill.
He said his brother "was celebrating and intended to go on a ‘binger.'"
Boogaard faces the felony charge of unlawful sale of a controlled substance.
He was also charged with interfering with the scene of a death, stemming from allegations that he had flushed the remainder of the pills down the toilet after finding his brother unresponsive.
Oxycodone is a strong prescription painkiller that is known to be addictive. Other overdose deaths have been blamed on the drug...

Undoubtedly it was an accident, but that doesn't mean he wasn't in the wrong. I'm not vehemently against all drug use, but oxycodone is nothing to mess with and there's a reason it's illegal without prescription.

This sucks...

IMO Aaron giving his brother the pills isnt a big deal at all, its just to bad that it was a cause in his brothers death, and thats something he is going to have to live with the rest of his life.

Just me, but I think it's on the same level as anyone else giving him the pills so he could "go on a binger"
Brother, friend or random street level drug dealer. It's all the same level.
