Interesting in not only is this a death where LSD abuse was causal,
the unfortunate tripper's sister ended up being convicted for supplying
the LSD that ended up killing her brother.

Girl Pleads Guilty To Homicide For Death Of Brother
A girl in Williamson County has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and
conspiracy to deliver LSD in connection with her brother's death.
Brandi Gussow faced almost 40 years in prison, but was sentenced to six
years probation Monday.
She must also pay $2,000 in fines and court costs.
In February of last year, Brandi Gussow told police she gave her brother
Shawn four hits of LSD.
Investigators said the boy had a "bad trip" that caused him to run into
interstate traffic. He died after two cars hit him.
Gussow's father, Mark Gussow, said she's happy with the plea, but he's
not sure he would have done the same thing. "If I were her, I would not
have pleaded guilty. I don't think I would have, but that's just me. But
on the advice of her attorney that's what she did."
Gussow's friend, Steven Parks, was also charged in the case. He also
pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and conspiracy to deliver LSD.
Because of a prior drug conviction Parks got seven years probation.
