Clemson student’s death attributed to deadly street drug epidemic in Upstate

Bowen Paul Ellis died from drug mix including fentanyl

PICKENS COUNTY, S.C. — 
Two weeks after Upstate officials warned of multiple overdoses caused by a deadly street drug that has become pervasive in the area, a coroner has confirmed that a Clemson student’s death in December was caused by the drug.

Pickens County Corner Kandy Kelley said Bowen Paul Ellis’ autopsy determined that he died from a combination of cocaine, fentanyl and acetyl-fentanyl. His death was ruled an accident.

Ellis, 19, who was a sophomore forest resource management major, was found unresponsive Dec. 9, in his off-campus apartment by his roommates.

Christopher Miller, Clemson’s associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said Ellis’ death left the Clemson family heartbroken.

"Please keep Bowen's family in your thoughts and prayers," Miller said.

Bowen’s obituary said he loved hunting with his granddad and was an avid fisherman.

Trump is right drug dealers should be charged with murder.

Throwing the dealers in prison for ODs is stupid. They will be replaced by another dealer tomorrow, or the junkies will start trying to make their own dope. If you are stupid enough to inject poison in your body the world doesn't need you. Let them die and the market for it will die with them. The only reason this is still a problem is because our Government is a textbook enabler.

"Throwing the dealers in prison for ODs is stupid. They will be replaced by another dealer tomorrow"

I guess throwing murders in prison is stupid as well because they will be replaced by another murderer tomorrow. Yep, throwing rapist in prison is stupid as well. They will be replaced by another rapist tomorrow. Ok, I like that logic. You are one smart dude. I bet you voted for Obama dint int u?
