A 20-year-old Cuban man died in the United States supposedly froma drug overdose, according to versions that circulate on social networks among expressions of pain from friends and acquaintances.
Identified insocial networks asLian Carlos Pérez, the city or state in which the young man was residing is unknown. It has also not been possible to confirm that the cause of death was a drug overdose.
“He died from a drug overdose,” answered the identified user on Facebook.Addiel Hernandez, one of the several Internet users who published the news of the death of the young man, whom his friends in Cuba nicknamedThe Chinese.
“EPD Lian Carlos Pérez, brother… And I thought I would see you soon. Only God knows why you had to leave, but I can tell you something: even if you are far away, I will always love you. “What hurts me the most is that I couldn't say goodbye to you,” Hernández expressed in hispublication.
In the comments to the publications on social networks it is said that Lian Carlos was orphaned by his mother since he was little and that his father resides in Cuba. Apparently, the young man emigrated to the United States a couple of years ago. On his Facebook profile it appears that he resided in Dallas, but this information could not be confirmed.
“Twenty years old little brother, why so early? It seems unbelievable, I haven't seen you in a couple of years but I have never stopped loving you... Rest in peace, bro," he said innetworks another friend of the deceased young man.
A video shared by Hernández showed Lian Carlos lying in a hospital bed, apparently already deceased, while a woman cries next to him. The young man was intubated, apparently on artificial respiration, in an intensive care room.
“Chino, I still don't want to believe that you left so full of life, but I want to try to remember you for how happy you were. May God and your mother welcome you into that new world that your spirit will contemplate,” said the user identified inFacebook asEdis Mark Eshu Ladde.
Apparently, Lian Carlos was originally from Las Tunas. It is unknown if his body will be repatriated to Cuba, although some comments on social networks indicated it, explaining that his father was still living on the Island. It is also not known if the young man had family in the United States.
Official data revealed by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in December of last year, indicated thatMore than 100,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2022.
The CDC site indicated that the official number was 106,699, which was almost 16% more than the 92,000 overdose deaths recorded in 2020.
In September 2022, it was knownthe case of the young Cuban Yemilka Izaguirre Viera, 22, who died in Louisville, Kentucky, allegedly from an overdose; a version that the family rejected while requesting help to investigate his death.
"My sister did not use," he said categorically in a videoYamilka Rodríguez Viera, who requested advice to clarify the circumstances in which the young woman died.
At the time of her death, the young woman lived with her partner, a 30-year-old girl, and was in the process of obtaining her residency. He was also preparing a package with aid for his 4-year-old son, who lived in Cuba in the care of his grandmother.
"They tell us that my sister, with some work friends, was sharing and that she died of an overdose," Rodríguez Viera said incredulously, adding that the day before her death they had talked about the plans she had and how she was focused on her future.
