Demri Parrot's Personal Profile "I was honored to talk to a very close friend of the late Demri Parrott (who passed away in October 1996), Layne Staley's ex-girlfriend, in Paris just recently. Every story is different so I cant claim to say this is the best advice for every person with an addict in their lives. -Jesse, I came across this website a few days ago, and I have to admit that this is wonderful.thank you so much Barbara Darin and Mom Kathleen for sharing her memories with us! He was traveling with a bodyguard hired specifically to keep his drug use in check, but after the show he overdosed. Now I dont have to worry about that anymore. Demri Parrott. I guess anyone could do the research and read all the interviews and maybe even talk to the people who knew them but no one is going to get it completely right. , ..u can always download vuze then go into kickass torrents and type in any movies, books, sitcoms you want to watch and download it.voila it downloads onto vuze and you can watch it anytime offline from then on.free all free, Sounds good i can be your book reviewer give star ratings..!!! She couldve been so much more, its a shame. Its a tribute vid, and at 5:45 (and I mean exactly easy to miss!) Sure, that might work for a short while but ultimately addicts need more incentives in their life then how someone else feels and those two things shame and guilt can also completly back fire on family members who always seem to try this route too and it will just cause their addict to go deeper and farther into their addiction and they may begin to isolate themselves emotionally and physically away from the people who made them feel that way because they dont wanna let them down anymore or let them see the disgusting mess they know theyve become.. so theyll just remove themselves from their lives instead.. breaking everyones hearts including their own. If memory serves, her mother was a counselor while Demri was alive. If I had a quarter for all the times she and I were approached with "I know youyou're Layne's girlfriend", and she would step back and reply "No, I am Demri", I would take all of us to Vegas. I wasnt even sure where to post this comment but whatever. It could be her though because she would definitely go to that show and she did have long hair like that (although her hair was more wavy I think) and there were a lot of people coming up to her and talking which would mesh with how popular she was. I know her story is full of pain and mistakes, you never hid that from us, and maybe because of this some close friends and family dont come in public to tell about her. What does that tell you? A little flower wild child girl who wont be never ever forgotten and will be for ever and for always loved and missed. It is even hard this far out but so freeingI have terminal cancer and if I could I would have love to have given your daughter whatever it was in me to make this happen so she could be here with you Addiction is a disease and one we need to address in this country very seriously without all the judgementWe shall just pray for all the negative talk out there if there is and the ironic thing is that it is those that judge other addicts that will discover it is in their own family! Nope.. When I spoke to Layne I was pissed off and crying, and told him what was going on at the house, but he pretty much already knew.

However I also want her to know others have been there before and youre not alone. However, a report claimed that a friend of the former couple named Amber Ferrano alleged that it was Layne who introduced his 5 feet tall petit ex-girlfriend to drugs. You were like a mom to them,making sure they were eating and breathing. All the pain and suffering when their lives could have been filled with so much love and happiness. But I wound up in Seattle , playing led guitar in the lare eighties and early nineties. I was put into an induced coma for 6 days on a ventilator. This drug is so powerful and addicting that people will keep using even when theyre slowly killing themselves, ruining their lives and hurting the people they love the most! Cornell said Layne came up the stairs to the apartment and was crying and nobody got up and gave him a hug and now he wished hed have done that. God bless her mother, cause mine would have let me die without hospital stays. I can understand that to a degree, but we were pals, and I wasnt gonna Young, but very sexy. I love this picture of Dem.. her hair.. her style..her attitude and her smile.. everything that made her Demri is in this picture. Demri was okay with paying half, but not all. Staley was found dead, toothless and weighing only 86 pounds, in his Seattle apartment in 2002. She did not come here to learn any lessons she came to teachshe taught unconditional LOVE and from what I can tell she continues to do so..Do not place any attachment or story to my mothers headstone for Dem that story will come out after my mom is no longer around.. that is another story Thanks for the oppurtinity to set a few things straightI know the misinformation did not come from you sorry if I appeared to be venting perhaps I was a little. Despite his numerous attempts to get clean, Staleys body was discovered in his Seattle condo, with toxicology reports finding his death was the result of an accidental overdose. Thanks Dave! But also open dialogue about drugs and continued thinking of the young that this could never happen to them. He only ever made one reference to the fact though, and that was after she was gone. My sister also was an addict and passed away in 2008. Same symptoms. All the sources for the information Ive obtained are from her friends or family, so I trust them. Barbara you are right on that they suffered from a fatal disease- and also right that drugs arent worth dabbling in. Its like being high on life and thats what everyone should strive for because though life can be scary and ugly, it also can be beautiful depending on how you look at things. When young, we all do crazy, risky things, especially in the early 90s. Back in those days, the band lived in abject poverty, "obsessed with getting p---y and who they were f-----g.". But in continuing with heroin and coke, she damaged her body more, to the point of no return. I hope it helps you as well. Do not let it get YOU! Rosheen and Demri RIP Rosheen Raugi June 19th 1997, Demri Parrott and Layne Staley Love Hate Love, More pictures of Demri can be found on my Flickr account at:RememberingDemri. Can you send me the link and the time in the video where you see her? If it is truth you have lost more than your Demi but a sibling with a D too. Just because we cant see something/someone, doesnt mean theyre not there. DAVID DUET At our next rehearsal, Demri and Layne walked in together, and within a month I was doing guest appearances with Alice in Chains, singin Bowie songs and stuff. Though he did pay for her drug treatment. Its just talk. And things like that. Marital Status: Single Doesnt matter though that she was not mentioned in her obituary because I know that Rosheen knew how important she was to Demri and Rosheen was at her funeralso that probably hurt her. Im trying to post a comment and a link to a video, but all that appears when I try to publish it in this site is: your comment is awaitting moderation!! Bottom line they both had to want it and they were convinced that only people who mixed alcohol and heroin (as in getting so drunk you forget what and how much you used) is the only thing that could kill you. Her death is considered to have pushed Layne over the final edge, as he then became a recluse in his own condominium. Laynes riff with Jerry was for telling him he needed to go to rehab and not going himself, hearing Laynes solo music and taking it to the band and borrowing his 8-track and erasing his stuff with Maynard (I dont think Jerry noticed it was on there). She also told Starr something that very likely helped him sleep better at night: "Layne would forgive you. Otherwise its just another chain.. you cant go without. I miss you, Demri. No one would have had any idea who she was if not for Layne. That being said im not a crazed obsessed fan but I am aware of Demri and read her story through Barbara and Darin about 10 years ago right after my heroin addiction started. Thank you for visiting the site and showing love for the ones we love. See Also:ystein Aarseth- The Disturbing Life And Death of Mayhems Euronymous. Take care, RIP Layne, Demri, Mike, rosheen, Andrew, Chris, and everyone else who left this life untimely. It was never about, How are we going to prop him up to get him on a tour? I had this conversation with Layne over and over and over after the success of Facelift: Your health is the most important thing. Demri was passionate about many things and excelled in art and theater. Dope sick is horrible and unless you have experience it for yourself you wouldnt understand and the mental part of it is even worse. I know he blamed himself for Demri dying we all played the should a, could a, wouldda tape in our head. Worth having a look my friend. At that point, once the pig valve is in place, and so many surgeries, and pain, she continues to go for the drugs to soothe and medicate her misery. I have heard that she is a very sweet and caring person. Thanks for your compassion. Parrott was born in Bremerton, Washington to Kathleen Austin and Dennis Dougherty on February 22, 1969. that doesnt makes us bad people! The facts, and I will allow myself to speak of them as facts, as I have 100% trust in Barbaras descriptions and tellings, are staggering. We will met them (again) and all together we will party and laught up avobe someday. Layla, Ummmm people still have lives to live sir, No need to apologizeIt just shows you careI was just giving you another way to think of it but not like the person behind me answeredsaying others have lives to live etcthat is selfish and narcissistic as you know what! He had someone call a psychic for him to make sure that he would be okay. For the first time in 10 yrs im doing good! We never celebrated my birthday so she wanted to be clean so we could which was on the 28th. She had her own connections for buying heroin and she could afford that, but it was LAYNES fault that she got sick b/c he hadnt bought her cotton before he left. (then going to work on my singing. Your site was the most helpful then, and continues to help those of us wanting to learn more about Layne & Dem. She also had a younger step-sister, Christa Dougherty. One story has Demri trying to kick drugs & dating a coke dealer in the final days of her life. I would stay with Layne and Demri sometimes, and I had laid on their floor kicking for a couple of days. The drug grabbed a hold of me and before I knew it I was doing dumb shit to get my hands on it. From everything you say about Demri and what a force of personality she was, this drug seems to have had an unbreakable hold on her. The distance between how young, beautiful and full of life Demri was in this pictures, and how much pain and suffering she must have suffered later in life, based on what you have shared, is so huge. XANA LA FUENTE Innocent yet provocative. Thats how Andrew described Demri when he first saw her. I liked Classic rock and blues when I was 11. I know we all hear this and we all have been told over and over to stay away from drugs but I wish I could drill it into kids heads who might consider trying it. I know Im dying, he starkly told Rubio. Demri has 3 brothers: Devin Derek Demri Parrott's brother, David, is still alive and kicking. So im postive thats why Demri got so sick again after her heart surgery cause her new valve was so sensitive. Those things would be great, I just wanted to be there when others werent so they had a safety net at all times. She was only 27.Alice in Chains manager Susan Silver told journalist Greg Prato in his book "Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music" that she was the one who went to Layne's apartment to tell him that Demri had died. All of you stay safe and strong and Barbara thanks so much for sharing with all of us fans out there! As for the book both Mike and Layne told me they wanted to sue her because it was full of lies. I know they seem crazy and all, but I have heard peoples stories on YouTube about how veganism, particularly the type that involves mostly raw fruits (unprocessed raw produce is key) changed their lives. Comfotably numb. Not you.'". I didnt get a album to hang on my wall which would have shown something for all the hard work. In addition, Demri had a cardiac pacemaker in her heart. I mean no disrespect with this question. I relapsed and used from april to june of 18. Later, as he got deeper into heroin, he almost seemed stooped over and maybe a little bow legged in AICs last concerts in 96. The blue hat was given to the EMP by me at Mike Starrs service there. I was overwhelmed by the people touched by her. Layne would visit her often in hospital, and even flew from Germany to Seattle to attend an intervention that her friends and family arranged after their break-up. I hope things are getting better for you and if not you hear me and please go get help. Then Kurt shot me, and then Layne shot me after that and I died, for like 11 minutes.". Its just heartbreaking and I believe this site will help people not to ever get into it and this site and your efforts are saving countless people from such a sad fate. Learn More{{/message}}. I thought that taking drugs is an adventure, that it makes possible to survive such a thing as great artists who are an inspiration to us, but now I know its not an adventure, it is often the road of no return. He'd say, 'Hey, I did this. It helped me get the guts to start learning to play guitar, something Ive wanted to do for a long time! Everything has already been said here, but I want to thank you personally. 2nd have some compassion or can you not readI have just been told I am dying of cancer and yes I have kids too and am a single parent at that with bills as wellso I understand all to well and I too am a recovering addictI in no way was ugly to no-one whatsoever!!!!!!

I struggle everyday to not use heroin. . Ive read about how Demris was stuck inside her home with the dealers waiting by her front door somewhere. Very seldom been wrong. I didnt know any of these. But I hope that you will. Being and ex-heroin addict myself, I know first hand the trials and tribulations that come with doing hard drugs, trying to keep a relationship going with my addicted girlfriend, and playing in a rock band, all at the same time. I think that Layne always sort of blamed himself for not looking after her, because she did need looking after. He also did Mad Season at some point in there. Its a very difficult thing to explain. Im not saying they were gay, lol! Also you dont party on heroin you longing about, nodding out, maybe drooling on yourself, and falling asleep in the middle of a sentence.
