I thought the same. My mechanic didn't even bother to bolt the caliper back on my driver's side brakes he turned and replaced the padding on. Christian went above and beyond. It also sounds like the girlfriend and the roommate were genuinely good people. I am sure they will all have guilt nagging at them, and none of it is their fault. The situation is sad.

Okay Christian was great but what if… This scenario is one example of how defunding (ie redirecting SOME resources) Police could benefit our communities. I wonder what might have happened if a Social Worker had been able to simply stay with this young man until his family arrived Instead he had cops who couldn’t help unless he was breaking the law and a well meaning mechanic.

Today (August 30) would’ve been my brother’s 50th birthday. He died in June 2018 - not sure if by accident or by choice - also alone on a road after buying a soda and telling his girlfriend that he would sleep in his car. He was also addicted to alcohol, and we learned after his death that he may have been using other substances. My brother was one of the funniest, sweetest, smartest guys you could ever meet. His loss is still hitting me, as it comes in unpredictable waves. Sometimes I reach for my phone to call him, just to remember that he’s gone forever. Rest In peace, Brian and Bryce.

DTs can be fatal but stimulants can mask the symptoms. It can happen that people can be slightly suicidal AND careless at the same time and it can be a very fine line esp with uppers and downers,blood sugar fluctuations and sleep deprivation. Its hard to be alone in the world, and these seem to be the consequences, in this partucular case, by choice.

Why did his mother keep insisting he drive to her when he was clearly not okay? The mechanic and police had to check on him multiple times. At that point, stop telling him to drive and come to you and go pick him up! I’m sure hindsight is 2020, but I’m baffled by that choice. I was in a similar situation once and after the second time of telling my mum I’m coming home and clearly not coming home, she drove to me. Picked me up and left my car there. Turns out I was drugged and didn’t realize it until I was already on the road. I hope people learn from this. If someone is not driving home when they’re supposed to, don’t insist they keep driving even if they seem fine. Go pick them up! There’s too many variables that can go wrong on a short 10 minute ride, let alone an hour. Shout out to Christian tho, he’s a kind soul! And also the girlfriend and roommate, they seemed to really care about him too. I know my roommates wouldn’t call my mum to update her on my weird/change in behaviour.

I stopped my Vyvanse the other day after 3 years of use. It gives me crazy anxiety and It's hard to notice until you stop it. I was taking it prescribed, I couldn't imagine abusing it. You can't even snort it because it requires a process inside your body to turn it into amphetamines. I'd 100% believe this kid was depressed as fuck because of the Vyvanse and drinking. I have been having terrible suicidal thoughts from shame. It sounds exactly what was happening to Bryce.

Between mental health issues, medication (self and prescribed), not sleeping (we think due to ADHD meds) and other instability, I'm running out of ideas on how to help. Sometimes he's so angry at us, just for trying to help, and to stop him from taking his own life. I wonder if I'll watch one of these about him one day.

I have spent my time in little rooms where all of us were waiting to undergo the latest medical tests, and have had some of the most rewarding conversations in my life. No one in that situation wants to chat about the weather, and there is an opportunity to speak from the heart. Sometimes people can say things to a stranger that are too painful to say to a loved one - and just listening to them is a cherished gift. Or you can give a word of sympathy and encouragement to someone who is overwhelmed. I am grateful for the time I spent in those little rooms, and I love to meet those rare people who have the courage to let down their barriers and speak from the heart. 🙂

Our little local paper ran the story with his image on the front page and listed Bryce as a missing person. I kept his image in my car to keep an eye out for him, because I work near where he went missing.

I always find disappearances disturbing. I don't know how the family could ever move on. I wonder about the family also. If the girlfriend was so concerned that she did not want to give him his keys, why did the mother insist that she do so. One never knows what is actually doing on in the family dynamics.

Also, impressed you picked up on Bryce's 'possible" uncomfortable relationship with his mother. I picked up on this after viewing many of his mother's interviews, and her Facebook entries. She appears to be domineering, controlling, in denial, and narcissistic, Several times she has stated, "My son would never commit suicide; he just wouldn't do that to us." This statement demonstrates that she is unable to sympathize with what he was going through... Instead, it's all about her pain.

I think Bryce had made it very clear, from hindsight, that Bryce didn't want to be alive. He was dismantling his relationship with his girlfriend. He was giving away prized possessions. And he just seemed to be doing his best NOT to return home. I've always wondered if Bryce was a victim of a sexhal assault. It is massively difficult to get someone at his age to understand it wasn't his fault and that his parents and friends wouldn't judge him. I think he attempted when he drove off the embankment because at night it looks like water below. But when that didn't happen, he night have cleaned up af the truck stop and hitched a ride. In this instance, I think he willingly left his life.

I feel the same way. I feel like _it_ must have happened to him whilst enrolled in that English class or just after that, bc I can't imagine doing anything that positive to "get ahead" for the next semester if I was in some respects not trying to envision a future. I will go back and watch the video again to try to pick up on what caused the family to move to California and pay better attention to the timeline and details before the journey home began. It did strike me as well, though, that 19 is the textbook age for a male to present with schizophrenia, if I recall. But everyone saying that he seemed fine to drive, aside from the GF, doesn't really support that conclusion. Trying to be so drunk that I may have the guts to end my suffering or at least to escape my suffering temporarily sounds like S.A. Not feeling the GF, instead drinking heavily and playing video games not wanting to spend the night when around her kinda gives me the feeling like, idk maybe he doesn't want to accept his sexual identity? But the abrupt onset of the crisis seems more like something happened to him than anything else. It's troubling not knowing the outcome. I'm sorry for all involved and all that are going through similar situations. Sleep deprivation is a hell of a thing too, though. And who knows what effects the ADHD meds bring to the equation. I'm talking from a place of familiarity too. I do meth, been locked up in a mental institution for a couple months, suicidal, bipolar, depressed, few times in jail, probation, a week in rehab, never married, no kids, no career, worthless, pointless life...but I've never really been abused that I recall, so I don't know for sure about that angle. But that's what I felt, intuitively, when I was listening to Dr. Grande lay out the timeline. Let me tell you though, I WILL SIT in the car or my apt or wherever for TOO LONG, like an invalid sometimes...just peril-ized. Not catatonic, just like hyper-procrastinating or something, I guess. Idk. I better stop before I get ambushed by a welfare check. 😶‍🌫️

I think hid switch to hard liquor and that drug brought on his psychotic break. Just my opinion.

Bryce's parents were domineering and basically forced him to go to that specific college. In fact, they forced a lot of things on him, trying their damnedest to control his life. Some believe that he was reticent to tell his parents he wanted to drop out of college, so as a last resort, he crashed his car (another shackle connecting him to his parents) and began anew somewhere else. People tend to hold the belief that it's nearly impossible to go missing on purpose and remain undetected, but it really isn't. Take it from a guy who did it for over ten years.

This case isn't actually that complicated but maybe that's just because I've literally witnessed these types of things in my own family. Bryce was starting to abuse Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) which is actually derivative of Amphetamine similar to Adderall and/or Meth. When taken not as prescribed and/or abused it can cause you to stay awake for long periods of time which also affects the persons' mental state to a point of delirium. In order to come down a little from that, he started drinking and soon realized that what he normally drank wasn't working which is why he switched to the liquor. At this point, the body is so exhausted and drained that it starts crashing which explains him falling asleep in random places regardless of the situation. You also lose your sense of time during all of this. To him, he might have thought he was taking 30min nap(s) when in reality it was actually 6-7hrs. Eventually, paranoia starts to set in and you start seeing things and thinking things that aren't really happening. Now at this point, he is fully unhinged and anything he does isn't really going to make much sense hence why there is all of this confusion. He himself couldn't even tell you what was going on even if he could but it sounds like he might have gotten freaked out and drove off of the bridge either by accident or on purpose trying to escape from something that wasn't even there. After the crash, he ran away from the accident either trying to avoid getting in trouble or still trying to escape whatever he was paranoid about in the first place. Now, as far as his whereabouts are concerned I couldn't tell you. I'm just letting you know that the reason for all of the confusion here is because of the substances that he was taking which in turn makes people do things that don't necessarily make any sense.

I used to do it regularly as an undergrad, I was working 20-30 hrs a week and a full time college student. I made it, but I walked everywhere. Then, I went to grad school in my 30s. Full time job, plus some, and full time grad student. This time my university was 35 mins from home and I commuted, of course I also drove to work. I don't know if the difference was my older age or the fact that I was driving, but during the grad school years, I realized that I was not exactly sane when I was up for over 30 hrs. I would slam my brakes for nothing, but I kept seeing lights and images in the road, and I was sure I was going to run over someone. I can remember thinking I should just end everything, I was too crazy to live. It was a scary really, and I did not even have a substance abuse problem to contribute to places my mind went.

I had a friend who ended his own life a few days before his 18th birthday. The day before he did it, he asked his long term girlfriend to marry him. It was really unexpected and heartbreaking for her because she had just said yes to marrying him. We all assume that he just wanted to know that she would have married him before he left this world.

For myself and literally everyone my age I knew as a kid, our parents all had a policy of immediately coming to pick us up if we were ever drunk, at a party, or in any other jam. I really don't understand the parents not immediately jumping in a car and going to find him with it being a 2 am phone call. Even if he seriously downplayed the situation, I would have done everything possible to get someone to stop him while I drove out to pick him up.

I say this is likely a suicide based on giving away valuable possessions and seeking closure with people he cared about. The red eyes were from crying and/or fatigue, dehydration, etc., whether that was enhanced by the drugs and alcohol is questionable based on the sobriety tests and stuff. Very sad case and even worse if he didn't die instantly. 😔

They say he could have drown in the lake or the ocean after injuring himself on his way out of the car. I'm probably biased because my sister committed suicide at age 22, when I was 20, and I now have an 18 year old son. And I know it's awful to place blame in a situation like this because the subtle warning signs seem so much more obvious after the fact, but they knew he was totally out of it and exhausted for days, even reported him missing and found him exhausted and trying to sleep in his car and just left him there on the side of the road AGAIN based on the policemen opinion even long after he said he was having a really hard time, knowing he had gone through a breakup, a flat tire, ran out of gas, gotten lost, had a dead phone, and friends had expressed a lot of concern. So either before or after his car was totaled, he may have decided he just couldn't take anymore. I just can't imagine a time when he could have needed his parents more, and I wonder if this is the kind of "tough love" they've always raised him with.

I agree with Dr. Grande's assessment of this case. The only additional piece of information I would add is the Castaic Lake rest stop and recreational area has a history of missing persons, crime and bizarre situations. Could we also be looking at some kind of abuse at home? I find it odd that he was so conflicted about going home, granted he probably wouldn't have wanted to get home while he was still under the influence of stimulants or alchohol. In addition, I find it very strange that his parents did not immediately make their way to him? They kept either ignoring or disregarding the numerous warning signs of someone wanting to end their life, eg; giving away of personal possessions, breaking off relationships and heavy alcohol and or narcotic use. Very sad situation and should serve as a reminder to all of us, especially, now under current health risks of Covid 19, that the rate of suicide in this country has surpassed epidemic levels and no one is talking about it. You will never hear the main stream media disucssing the skyrocketing amount of people who have committed suicide over the past year and a half. Those of us who work in mental health are standing on the rooftops, screaming as loud as we can that we are facing a serious situation of epic proportion if we do not act now! Please, if you know of anyone suffering a mental health crisis, get them help now. There are wonderful organizations like NAMI (National Association of Mental Illness) that will provide all the support you need and more importantly they can provide you with valuable resources to get help.

"Vyvanse is a stimulant used to treat ADHD." While true this can be misleading. It is a compound that affects people differently that is used for all kinds of things. Vyvanse is slow-release. How much was he taking? Was he taking it for something other than ADHD because he could not get a prescription for an off-label use? Either way it could contribute to insomnia. One of the most annoying side effects is being exhausted but not being able to sleep. This could result in a psychosis from sleep deprivation.
