Forensic nurses, regardless of their practice area, will at times come in contact with the same types of deviant behavior. Some of these behaviors may be considered rare or even non-existent. It is to our benefit that we share our investigative experiences with these cases. Vampirism is one such behavior. In the modern age, vampires have become media stars. The word "vampire" became a household name in 1897 after the publication of "Dracula."1 More recently, the vampire novels by Anne Rice have become best sellers.2 Television shows such as "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" and movies with vampire themes are increasingly popular. However the popularity of these characters can lead some people, teenagers in particular, down a dangerous road. A 17-year-old white male was found unresponsive in his bedroom by his parents. He was on his knees, on the floor, with his head resting on the bed. A call was placed to 9-1-1 and emergency medical services (EMS) transported him to a local hospital.

He was pronounced dead in the emergency room (ER). The deceased was noted to have a history of ADD and had been prescribed Prozac and Adderral. He was a very popular teenager who was active in many high school activities. He had recently lost Internet privileges and the Internet name he used was "Vampireboy." During the scene investigation a black and white composition book was found next to his bed. In this 40-page journal, which was written in long hand, the deceased described himself as a "Vampiresis." In great detail, he described how he became a Vampiresis and instructs others to do the same. A sample bottle of Zoloft was found in his bathroom. At autopsy it was noted that the canine teeth appeared to have been filed. Sixteen ounces of blood was found in the stomach and 4 ounces of mucoid bloody fluid was found in the duodenum. There were no signs of ulceration or other cause for bleeding.

Its a sad story, that he died so young.

P.s
What does ADD stand fore?

Attention Deficit Disorder.

I think thats stupid, everybody knows vampires aren't real

It depends on your definition of vampire. However that guy WAS stupid, I have to agree with you on that one.

I blame the parents!

^Thats just opening a can of worms there Kryso!lol!

Anyways its very sad that he died so young, what a waste of a life!

Sheesh, I think the people who wrote that article needs to learn to proofread...

yes and no, the stereotypical vampire ain't real but there are people who have a fascination for drinking blood and do it often

16 fluid oz. of blood?! Dang... it takes a pint of blood to make you sick... that would have been one hell of gut rot.

^The size of that sig is so ridiculous.
I'm surprised he didn't puke it up, it's a lot to ingest.

Well, I have ADHD and I've been on Prozac before and I know that doesn't helps at all, it just made me feel empty and energyless, I hate that medicament.
What do you mean with "their teeth appeared to have been filed"?
The smell of blood makes me feel a little sick after a few minutes, the only blood that I've ever "drinked" was those from my wounds (just to stop the bleeding of course).
How much is 16 ounces and 4 ounces of blood in liters?

And E_Rizzle374, that's a massive sig!

Ewwww... that just sounds terrible. 'gut rot'. Uggg.

have you ever met a mordern day vampire.what about don Henri

don henri looks like a girl.

vampires are real there is this website that i found with many differnt people sayin there storys about there awakenen and i for 1 belive them and that vampires do exist

I love the vampire imagary as much as the next goth (especially Anne Rice's Lestat) but people should REALLY know that vampires are just stories and no matter how much you might want them to be real it aint gonna happen! and pretending to be a fictional monster with a blood lust will only get you a one way ticket to a straight jacket. If you are thinking about trying to become a human living vampire please don't! I ha da friend who went down that road and it didn't go very well, if you really want to play at being a vampir ei reccomend:

* Leave the fake blood for halloween
* Dress if you must like either a dickensien goth or a reniasannse goth
* Buy the sims 2 nightlife and make your self a vampire on there
* Pleas eremember there are no real vampires and even if there were what would they want with a human

Decent post but this thread is years old.Start a new topic. Please no necroposting. Boo ya.

Anything close to resembling Vampires exist, you will find them right here.
