fta: Wife of heir to the 5.4B pound Tetra Pak fortune.

who knew that the inventor of Tetra and Pak man made so much money?

TommyymmoT		2012-07-10 09:28:17 PM

Why the long face?

See, if you can afford such a lavish lifestyle I just don't understand why you'd waste it doing drugs or at least the kind of drugs that will kill you in a brainless stupor. I'd sooner line up 100 of the finest escorts from around the world, take a boatload of viagra and hope I live through the experience without having a heart attack or have my balls implode from sheer exhaustion. But boy, would that be a hell of a lot more fun than a heroin overdose.

From a BBC article:

In 2008 Mrs Rausing and her husband Hans Kristian Rausing faced drug charges after crack, heroin and 52g of cocaine were found in their home.

Well, I've seen it all- a billionaire crackhead.

More surface area for her husband to snort lines off of.

Actually, it wouldn't. Heroin is REALLY good. That's why people do it.

How the hell would YOU know why I go on drug binges until I end up dead, subby? And what does that have to do with what you do if you're one of Britain's richest women?

If you're driving around buying crack cocaine maybe you don't want to take the Bentley.

croesius		2012-07-11 12:13:19 AM

So they received "cautions" from the police for their prior crack, cocaine, and heroin possession charges?

Now that they have a body, they might just be given...

A CITATION!

Drugs overdose.

What if you're given mounds and mounds of class A ganja, and a traffic warden?.

DrPainMD		2012-07-11 12:17:42 AM

FTA: "American-born Mrs Rausing, 49, was married to..."

and: "He was held over the discovery of his 48-year-old wife's body..."

That's some good reporting, there, Lou.

fusillade762		2012-07-11 12:19:47 AM

Tetra Pak heir

She will be interned in a waxy cardboard box.

Too bad she couldn't contain herself.

... why wouldn't you?

I mean, I can see if you have some great talent or skill then you'd prefer to share it with the world, but if you're some random schmuck that just happens to have boatloads of cash why not just do whatever you want and then die? It's not like she was actually contributing to humanity or doing something that hurts us, so her call.

There are other celebrities that milk their fortunes for being wild, like Tetra Patrick.

Once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

"further arrested"?
Is that like double secret probation?

She is just trying to one up Tad Walgreen, heir to the Walgreen's fortune

One of my friends lived in the complex where he was found dead when they found him. Nobody knew he was a billionaire heir, they just thought he was your run of the mill crackhead.

Nuclear Monk		2012-07-11 12:26:25 AM

These things happen when you get above the $75,000/year income level, so I'm told.

zzrhardy		2012-07-11 12:27:36 AM

For some reason I get slightly annoyed when junkies have a life that is really awesome.

I prefer to imagine them all swimming in Scotland's worst toilet instead.

Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, talented or a fry-cook if you're an addict you can either get clean or die, NO OTHER OPTIONS. I understand how hard it can be and non-addicts will never understand us but the drugs can really get hold of you and it can seem to be better to stay wasted until you die than to face life sober.

They were creating jobs for crack dealers.

Nah. They've gotten away with it for so long I think they're just getting sloppy.

They don't need to do that, as long as the war on drugs is on there will always be jobs for crack dealers.

That's a false dichotomy, as those who get clean eventually die as well. Nobody escapes death. It's really hard to die of an overdose if you're careful and use drugs moderately and intelligently. Most people who die from overdoses are either idiots or they were being self destructive on purpose because their life sucked.
