EDDIE

Eddie and some friends were celebrating the end of summer and were drinking at a party.

A friend, Connor McNicholas was headed home and decided to drive Eddie and three other guys. On August 6, 2011 Eddie and

another friend Robert Nagel were killed after the car they were driving in traveled off the roadway and struck a curb before careening

405 feet into the back yard of a residence near Norristown Road. The accident occurred at about 1:15 a.m. The car was travelling at about 100 miles per hour at the time of the

crash.

PLAY FAST, LIVE SLOW

Eddie died because he decided to get in a car with someone who had been drinking.

Conner, the driver, survived the crash but he was sentenced to 4 to 8 years in prison in June

2012 after pleading guilty to seven charges, including two counts of vehicular homicide.

He will have to live the rest of his life with the fact that he is responsible for killing two of his

friends.Two lives cut short, one life changed forever because of a jail sentence…was it worth it?
