Andy Reid released a statement on behalf of his family Monday evening.
The wording strongly suggests that Garrett Reid’s death was drug-related.
“Garrett’s road through life was not always an easy one,” the statement read. “He faced tremendous personal challenges with bravery and spirit. As a family, we stood by him and were inspired as he worked to overcome those challenges. Even though he lost the battle that has been ongoing for the last eight years, we will always remember him as a fighter who had a huge, loving heart.”
