DANIEL IS DEAD
SHOCK!POPSTAR DIES FROM DRUG OVERDOSE
©1991
Robert Cummins
Daniel O'Donnell,the country superstar,was found dead in his Donegal home today,
after a suspected Junior Asprin overdose.Daniel had long been addicted to the
drug,and hid the shocking truth from his hoards of adoring fans.However,he
became more and more reclusive,his last public appearance being in a tour of
his own house,last summer.
Last August,some of his devoted fans staged a protest on Grafton Street against
Daniel's removal from the country charts.In an exclusive interview with Gerry
Ryan,Daniel expressed his opinion that it was not nessecarily the best way to
get things done.Junior Asprin was certainly taking its toll,and superstar
Daniel was barely able to stay awake.Later that month,a radio double stood in
for Daniel on the Gareth O'Callahan radio show.
"Oh,my God,I don't know what to do.I can't live without him."says Siobhan Hoche
lifelong Daniel fan,and part time radio broadcaster.According to the Samaritans
the suicide rate has increased drastically in the last two hours.
"People just ready to pull the trigger were spurred on by Daniel's shock
demise.I really liked him myself.In fact,I think I'll end it all."says Richard
Gybbons,head director of the samaritans.
Daniel tried to get help from drug help centres,but to no avail.Daniel's long
drug history started at the age of fourteen,when he started taking drugs.They
were for his asthma.Despite efforts made by his schoolmates,he would not give
them up.
"We never thought it would go this far."say Reg O'Brian,one of Daniels former
schoolfriends."Everyone was doing it.We thought we could give it up any time we
liked.But you're really addicted ,from the first time you take up that inhaler
to when you die."
Daniel's late cousin,Gerald O'Brien,got into some bad company,and got into
some really hard drugs.Stuff like valium and disprin.He also died from an
overdose,probably of parecetemol.
In his will,Daniel left all of his £3 billion estate to various convents and
set up a Junior asprin detox centre.R.I.P Daniel.The whole world will miss you.
