People's views about this event

Many blamed his friends for allowing him to travel when he lost consciousness, while others were cautious against alcohol abuse.

Dr Ventura:

“Comfort for family. What kind of friends allow someone who is overweight and lost consciousness to leave alone? He was not able to control himself, especially for that night. Young people should understand that it is better not to have 'friends' than to engage in arbitrary behavior.”
