The story about Patrick Stiff is untrue. He was not on the train tracks when he died. The first newspaper article took the word of drunks and cops that wanted to hurry it all along. Never even investigating. The way people pass around this story is ridiculous. You get some kind of high off of nothing..lies.

Lynda, I am really sorry that you lost your brother - especially in such a needless fashion.
However, from the reports that I have now read (including your interview) I think it quite clear that the reports are actually true - he was playing chicken with his friend and I now know he was also drunk. It seems that he was trying to get out of the way when he was hit - but that doesn't make the report (as related above) untrue.
I understand how you probably find it hard that people have passed this story around - I can't really imagine how it would feel. I hope that you are able to come to terms with your grief soon.

I hope you rot in hell. How's that for getting over my greif? My brother was a good man..one of the best. Just because your drunk doesn't mean that you are drunk enough to want to be hit by a train. Furthermore, the story was removed from the Darwin Awards for being untrue!
