Tryptisol is an anti-depressant (also implicated in Nick Drake's death). Carbitol (not Cabritol) is, IIRC, was what was listed on the death certificate, though also IIRC its a solvent used in preparation of drugs.

Actor Morgan Freeman hospitalized at The MED after accident MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman was involved in a serious car accident Sunday night in north Mississippi. Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesperson Ben Williams said Freeman, 71, and a female passenger were traveling eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 around 11:30pm in Tallahatchie County when his vehicle went off the edge of the road. Freeman overcorrected, flipping his 1997 Nissan Maxima several times before coming to a rest. Emergency crews extracted Freeman and his passenger from their vehicle using the jaws of life. According to Williams, they were both airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, told the AP he arrived at the scene soon after the accident happened. McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne when it left the highway and landed in a ditch. McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor. When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, McFerrin said Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies." Kathy Stringer, a spokesperson at The MED, said Freeman was listed in serious condition Monday morning. The condition of Freeman's passenger has not been released. Freeman, who won an Academy Award for his performance in 2004's Million Dollar Baby, is a co-owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club in downtown Memphis. He can currently be seen in theaters in the Batman sequel The Dark Knight and the Angelina Jolie thriller Wanted. *http://www.wmctv.com/global/story.asp?s=8783679* In other news it's good to know that winning an Oscar won't keep you from driving a 1997 Nissan. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 14:16:39 EDT From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: Re: Near REAP(?) in Mississippi, no less ! if he was able to joke, then that's a very good sign ! my blog is "Yer Blog" http://fab4yerblog.blogspot.com/ http://robotsarestealingmyluggage.blogspot.com/ In a message dated 8/4/2008 2:11:42 P.M.

You'd think he could save up for something a little newer. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:40:38 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: CLASH @ SHEA 1982 CD On Aug 4, 2008, at 9:23 AM, Tom Clark wrote: > On Aug 4, 2008, at 8:09 AM, hwycdrrev@aol.com wrote: > >> A new live album recorded on The Clash's US tour with The Who in >> 1982 is to >> finally be released as a live album on October 6. >> >> http://uncut.co.uk/news/the_clash/news/11948 > > I was at that show - excellent!!
