Mr. Brian Bent of San Diego, California, passed away in his sleep at the Happy Family Hostel in Taipei City, Taiwan. Brian, 27 years old and a fun-loving guy, taught English in Ulsan and Seoul before moving to Taiwan last Fall.
Please PM me if you knew Brian.

Thank you for your post.
Yes, how sad that such a warm-hearted twenty seven year old man is no longer with us.
Take care.

| My Aussie buddy and I were with Brian at Happy Family Hostel last Tuesday evening and he seemed fine. A solid guy who was an expert water polo player, Brian talked to me on the phone last Friday night and the only thing that stood out from our conversation was the fact that he had not slept in nearly two days. |

Maybe he ate something bad or caught a nasty bug. I recently heard of a man in his 20's who returned to the U.S. from teaching here in Korea. He caught T.B. He died about 2 weeks ago. He too was a super healthy guy before all of this.
A buddy of mine went to China on a business trip and caught some kind of bug that the doctors in Canada couldn't indentify. He was throwing up blood and looking terrible. Thankfully, his body fought back and he's okay now.
I think being attacked by viruses that are not present in Western countries is a real hazzard for us when we come over here. Take care. |

Thanks for the reply, Bra.'
Seems quite clear to me that Brian would like to have a brew or two with thy and thou.
Straight up, I'm sure 'B' would be Rippin' Ready to get drunk with a good guy like you.
I am,
Peter Hunt
Keep it cool, "Bra." |

Im sorry for you to lose a good friend..
you said he didnt sleep for two days?
Ive had alot of good friends go to taiwan and I dont want to speculate or anything..
but Taiwan has a solid drug trade, my friends were scoring speed and crack like it was going out of fashion..
my friend came close to ODing said it was weird stuff. probably laced with something else..
does your friend have a back ground in drug use?
he might of had a heart attack.. |

He smoked up quite a bit in Taipei. I do not know if he was using speed or crack, though.
Thank you for the letter. |

when you hear back from the autopsy let us know..
its very strange that a 27 year old guy just dies in his sleep!
you hear about Fit sport players collapse and die on the field or after games but when the Autopsy comes back it was usually due to enhancing drugs and the heart went into overload.
being Asia could be a chance he ate something. but you spoke to him 2 days before and he was fine.. and if he was sick, im sure he would have called someome and said "IM feeling terribley sick"
so something is missing here.. |
