Thanks to clubplanet many will see him as he was protrayed by CP, a drug addict, and nothing more. He was something. He was something to his family, he was something to his friends. He was a son, a grandson, a brother, and a friend, and that alone, should be reason enough to not make any kind of inferences as to the cause of his death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigeleiro Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 I agree 1000% babydoll. I am friends with his brother and was actually had just left him when he got the news. It is scary that here is a kid with a true problem and this could have happened any where to him but since it happened at the Factory its automatically being linked to drugs. People should wait til they get the facts straight before they start to criticize or assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzcluba Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 i agree 100%....it pure bullshit to print something like that, but unfortenatly they are not the only ones. The media have done the same thing, I read the practically the same thing in the daily news. Its unfortenate that the guy lost his life, its even worse when the masses automatically assume he was just some drug addict. I don't know him personally, but even if he was there is no way that CP or the Daily news would have any idea therefore should not include such b.s. in their articles. Its unfortenate, but this is the world we live in today.here is what was in the daily newsTaken directly from the Daily News Website: Man dies on club's dance floor A 21-year-old New Jersey man died early yesterday morning after collapsing on the dance floor of a popular midtown nightclub, police said. Michael Spano, of Roselle Park, N.J., was out with several friends at the Sound Factory nightclub on W. 46th St. when he fell unconscious and dropped to the floor just after 2 a.m., police said. His friends called 911 and paramedics rushed Spano to St. Clare's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after arrival, police said. Spano's family told investigators that he had been taking medication for a blood disorder and an enlarged heart, police said. There were no signs of trauma. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. The Sound Factory, a 30,000-square-foot, four-level club with smoke machines and a million-dollar sound system, has been the target of several recent police raids that cracked down on drug sales, including a large Ecstasy buy-and-bust this past February. Calls to the club for comment were not answered. Jonathan Lemire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck has this world come to....... this is outrageous Shame on CP AGAIN!!!!!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
