i first saw river phoenix in the movie stand by me. i love that movie. he did such a good job in that movie. well i went on the computer to see if he was playing in a movie or something cause i have not seen him in any other new movies. well i looked it up and it said he died and my hart just sank to the bottom of my stomach. i was like omg!! it told me how he died. and everything. it showed u pictures of him in his coffin. but it said that it is grafic and stuff. i did not look at the pictures. i think they should not have grafic pictures of him on the web. i saw him in some more of his movies like running on empty. i just think it is really sad. he was such a good actor.

I know, wow. It's crazy that is exactly how I found out he died.....but If I didn't think he was hot I would of never looked him up and seen he had passed! AS so did many others!

I saw the DVD stand by me and there were some stuff from the players.. And I loved River the most in it.. (the others were ugly:P) and I asked my dad:
Why don't they show some stuff of River on it? And my dad sad: He died..
'how??' "drugs"
And I started to scream! And after that day, my whole life changed!

It was a sad day ..........

you were around to witness it nicola?

Yes i was around on the day River died. I'm 30 yrs old so i can remember it very well, thanks for asking.

so you were 18 when it happened?

my brother was 18 when kurt cobain died and he went to the memorial service in seattle and courtney gave him one of kurt's old jumpers

that was the best 18th present i've had

Now that is a priceless momento, guard that with your life.
