Johns Creek Death Could Be Alcohol Related
(WSB Radio) The death of a Johns Creek teenager may have been connected to alcohol, that according to investigators.
Sergio Cortez-Garcia, 19, was found dead in the basement of his home on Brooks Bridge Crossing early Sunday morning.
Family members, returning home from a party, found Cortez-Garcia unconscious and called 911. The initial report was that the teen had been shot, but police found no evidence of a gunshot wound.
Cortez-Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the medical examiner. A preliminary autopsy indicates he had consumed a large amount of alcohol before he died.
What others are saying
- Safer ChoiceIf marijuana were legal in GA Mr. Cortez-Garcia might still be alive today.
Had Mr. Cortez-Garcia been allowed to choose marijuana instead of alcohol as his choice of recreational drug then it wouldn't have mattered how much of it he consumed on that evening it wouldn't have killed him. In all of recorded history there hasn't been a single verifiable death by marijuana.
We need to tell our legislators in Georgia to legalize it!
