I don't like that people always assume what you should do in the worst case scenario, but to be honest, we all make dumb decisions under pressure.
Exactly. Not all people respond the same. Some people act quickly, others freeze up or don't know what to do & do something stupid.
@@princessofeden Righttttt!!!!!
I’m just glad to know that Cassidy didn’t murder her and was telling the truth, because now all the people accusing her look stupid AF! Haha
@@FriendlyRider88 They went overboard too with the accusation saying she had sex with a man next to her dying. Like seriously.
@@princessofeden That's just what I was thinking! If you lose a loved one, why blame it on another person? 🙄😒🤷♂️🤦♂️
That ending… man. It’s a feel good moment knowing that they were able to hug it out on stage. Chrystal giving Kassidy those ashes was special. I know that Lexy is being the guardian angel for all three of them. RIP 🙏🏾🕊️
You can't blame one person who decided to take drugs for the overdose of another who decided to take drugs. It's like blaming a 4 year old for another 4 year olds drowning. Many addicts who love each other nod out and one doesn't wake from the nod. It's happened to people I know and it's something that, as far as I've seen destroys the one who's living.
i dont like how they attacking her ...lexi been had a problem ... mom why u aint do more... thy both were high...no one could say what they'd do
I feel personally that we all are essentially responsible for our own actions (I myself would never blame or fault someone because I ultimately make or made a choice) but I'd genuinely like to know your thoughts and feelings regarding dealers and their being held responsible for deaths if it's found they were the sellers to the deceased.
Can’t compare a 4 year olds and adults. Adults are responsible and 4 year olds are not responsible for another 4 year old.
@@prettygirltee8 and one adult isn’t responsible for another. YOU are responsible for yourself
@@prettygirltee8 So you have to be responsible for drug addicts while also addicted to drugs. Sounds naive AF
People don’t know how traumatizing it is to see someone in front of you dying
Exactly
Over 10 years ago my best friend died in my arms from a pulmonary embolism while waiting for the ambulance. I'm still trying to cope with what happened 😢
Sandy was a beautiful soul, she passed way too soon and I miss her every day 😢😢😢
I do know personally. My best friend and I were almost at the baseball field to play a game against each other. We were both catcher's and taught each other to improve our game.
We were waiting for traffic to clear, when his cousin hollered to him from across the road to run. So he did, darting out in front of a speeding drunk driver. She was doing 72 in the school zone. He bounced off the hood of the El Camino 3 times, then slid on the pavement about 25 feet. The cousin told his parents it was my fault, cause I didn't stop him.
I didn't go to school for 2 weeks and I quit my team and Never played baseball again. Watching my friend die so horribly has forever been burned into my brain. 😢😢😢
@@dalejones5939 I'm so very sorry that you had to go through this 💔 people can be so cruel and you didn't deserve it.
Prayers for you and may you find peace 🙏❤️🥹
@dalejones5939 That wasn't your fault 💔 Always remember that 🙏
I have watched just about every episode that you guys have ever made and this was by far the saddest I’ve ever been. The end when the mom gave the ashes to Kassidy really broke me down. I hope they stay close and keep Lexi close to their hearts.
yes. I hate when they continue to scream, yell, and blame one another after someone is innocent. they chose healing and...it was just as heart wrenching as it was relieving 🥲
It did to me too
Spoiler alert much. 😡
Same that was so beautiful made me ball my eyes out poor people
Same here, so much pain in one video
That cry on that 911 call was genuine , you can just hear it in her voice. She seemed like she really loved her! I know how it feels beautiful! I’ve been there. And you didn’t deserve what everyone did to you! So sad! Rest In Peace mama 💔
Definitely you could tell she was distraught
I knew she was telling the truth as soon as I heard her sobbing on the 911 call, I’ve been there and that was a soul cry from losing the love of your life.
I hardly ever cry but this episode hit home. Completely bawled my eyes when Lexi’s mom gave her ashes to the girlfriend. You can see where Lexi got her good heart from. It’s always the good who die young. Rest peacefully.
Never fair to blame either person when they’re both consenting adults doing drugs together. Addiction is such a a sad disease and Kassidy is very right she could’ve easily been Lexy. Hope she changed her ways and doesn’t touch drugs anymore.
What an emotional episode, I loss both my parents just recently so this really touched me. I’m glad Kassidy passed.
Why would u tell us
@@babyyybratz8803 That's why it's best to watch the video before reading the comments.
It bothers me that family members of lost addicts often do this.
I really feel this. My parents lost a daughter and I lost my little sister last month over drugs. It just hit me last night and I feel so lost. I really feel for these ladies.
I'm sorry for your loss just know that your sister is in a better place.. The road isn't easy some days you'll feel lost and empty and other days you'll feel like she'll want you to go on living but it is extremely hard.. You'll have moments where you'll burst into tears at the sight or even scent of something that reminds you of her.. I know this because I lost both my parents when I was 5 and 11 years old back in 1989 and 1994 and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of them or the memories I have of them..just stay strong allow yourself to grieve as long as it takes and just be there for your parents as well
@@xoxo1700s her sister isn’t in a better place, she’s dead. no longer existing or sentient. she’s gone.
I personally know this family, Lexi’s death has been hell on the whole family, my family too. Lexi was my kids niece, therefore addiction affects everyone. Drugs run rampant in our city and it so sad that Lexi became addicted. She was such a beautiful little girl, she loved her family and her family loved her. There is more to this story, but not enough time to tell.
I'm so sorry for their loss, Lexy sounded like a lovely person and although she made bad decisions with drugs, she didn't deserve to die but unfortunately it happens 😔 I'm happy that they have all become close since the show, I'm sure that's what Lexy would have wanted ❤️ my heart goes out to all of them R.I.P Lexy 😇🌹
She shouldn’t be doing drugs that’s her fault and the family want to blame her girlfriend
@@RileeNelson1993 I agree, that's what I was saying, she made bad choices by taking drugs and paid with her life.
Unfortunately when someone dies people seem to need to have someone to blame and they blamed her gf, it's wrong but I'm just happy they're all able to get along and find peace now.
She needs help. You can tell Kassidy has been doing drugs a long time and still was with her mannerisms. Hopefully she gets the help she deserves.
She seen the love of her life die , thats not gonna really help now is it !
I lost my husband and my children lost their father due to a drug overdose. So this episode really tugged at my heart I bawled at the end.
My sons lost their dad to drugs. He'd never have done them were it not for the truly soulless woman he fell for. It took his life at 49. 😢
I don't like these kinds of stories where parents lose their child and they instantly blame it on other people. Grieving about your child's death is one thing, but accusing someone else and blaming them for the child's death is a whole other thing. You never know what these accusations can do to their lives. Other than that, I'm so glad Kassidy passed and that she, Crystal, and Saydi are now closer. R.I.P to Lexy and condolences to her family and friends! 😣😓😖🙏💗💗
i dont like how they attacking her ...lexi been had a problem ... mom why u aint do more... thy both were high...no one could say what they'd do
Yeah I agree, because the reality is, if back before I got clean, my parents blamed pretty much anyone I was around for my decisions, except for me. If had overdosed, it would have been no ones fault but my own.
Logically we all know addiction is generally due to the choices of the addict. However, thats easier to say from the outside looking in.... but if one of my kids died in a scenario like this, I'd probably lose my ability to think rationally as well.. i cant imagine and hope I never have to understand what a pain that deep can do..
No parent should ever have to carry that burden..
I hope this woman finds a way to have some semblance of peace and a bit of happiness in her life, until she meets her again.
It’s human nature. After a person passes away we tend to want to find someone to blame while wanting to not tarnish the loved ones they have lost. I agree that I don’t like when that happens but it’s kind of like a stage of the grieving process imo.
I relate to this story totally.. my partner died in a drug fulled accident and even though I was nowhere near him at the time of the accident I was blamed by alot of his family and even though it hurt me to my core I didn't fight it and kept my mouth shut. I just kept thinking how much pain I was in wasn't nearly as much as his parents pain of losing one of their children. It was so hard, heartbreaking and soul shattering to hear the rumours about me but I just wanted his family who he lived for to work through their pain. Now me and my children have a very strong bond to them and through them and his children his memory is kept alive. I hope that this family will now I hope her mother and daughter will embrace this young lady as her wife and person she loved the most in the world. They are obviously heartbroken and might need time but hopefully they'll come together one-day
Sometimes drugs take over people lives... Prayers to the family.
Awesome episode of Steve Wilkos Show today on Overdose or Murder. And kudos to Steve for providing contact information at the end for those need help.
Out of all the losing children stories I’ve listened to on the show , this one is the saddest story I’ve ever heard . Condolences to the family and the girlfriend . Is this an old episode ? Even if it is , it made me wanna cry .
@@Chris-em1bc I know what you mean, drug users are just wastes of human life. They drain the economy of prescription meds from those who really need them. Why else is there an Adderall shortage?
@@Chris-em1bc Dude fuck you, you inconsiderate prick. At least have some sympathy for the family who had nothing to do with their daughters passing. I hope you never have kids and lose one to drugs because you’ll feel pretty fucking stupid about this comment you made.
@@Chris-em1bc sometimes people just don’t listen because this shit would often happen in the end .
@@Chris-em1bc That's actually a really sick thing to say. Some drug users aren't users by choice There is a growing epidemic of people switching to things like heroin because their doctors ended their perspiration of pain killers after a horrible accident or sickness. A lot of opiod users start because they have some sort of cronic pain that doctors might not treat, or refuse to keep treating. Strong painkillers like the Tylenol given after surgery is an opiod, just like heroin. Hospitals literally give out these opiods and just HOPE people don't get addicted. To say who cares about people dying is already really fucked up to say, but to say that when some people didn't want this life is even worse
@@Chris-em1bc I’m sorry to hear that and yeah I totally understand . You also make a good point about what you were telling him .
This one really brought tears to my eyes. There was grief all around, but I'm happy to see that they were able to get answers and find a bond over something they both love.
Omg the ending where the mom gave the ashes to Kassidy I balled Im glad she passed the test RIP Lexi
13:14 Lady looks like she is using a snap-chat crying filter.
😂😂😂
I am so thankful for you bringing the mother and daughter closer with the girlfriend. It made me cry. It's amazing to hear how close they are now because the truth came out.
Have to say, after being with someone who was a big user, it's not easy to know when to call for help, especially when they say previously, "I'll be fine!" And in some of our situations, getting others involved is a bad situation for you.
When you're also messed up, it's even harder. You just arent in the right mind but you are BOTH part of the situation.
It's just not so black and white. Until I saw that foaming, I'd of been terrified to contact anyone.
It's so very sweet that they were able to figure this all out. Its never, ever an easy situation. Life is so difficult for so many.
when she gave her the ashes and kissed them goodbye i fucking broke. i pray for healing for anyone who has to deal with this
What a strong lady the mother is.
Lexi won't be forgotten.
This is just so sad....
❤from Australia
Considering they were both using drugs that night Lexy passed, I can understand the fear/confusion she might’ve been in whether knowing if she should really call for help or not. She could’ve been afraid that she could’ve gone to jail that night & that’s why she debated calling for help right away. So sad & unfortunate, could’ve prevented as well. Just glad they got closure.
So you saying that’s a ok reason she waited to called ? You see someone gasping for air u just going to lay them in the floor and wait ?
@@zatayzia4756 it's not an ok reason but a mind under influence works differently then the one that it's not under the influence of anything.
Their relationship may’ve been rocky, especially and most of all under the influence. But I believed Kassidy’s story from the beginning. She truly/genuinely seemed hurt & regretful.
SO SHE TOLDED THE TRUTH............I KNOW LOSING SOMEONE IS NEVER EASY...............
11:56 Kassidy's lie detector test results
love you
i’ve bawled this hard when losing my own loved ones 🥺 this is by far the most emotional episodes
This is tragic. I lost my daughter to an overdose on 24 December 2020. I blame the b*tch that sold her the fatal dose and the cops that don't bother to stop the dealers. Life goes on, however it never goes back. I'll pray for your peace.
Steve is being naive af. I get the family not understanding this, but Steve, an ex cop, should know better. These girls were/are drug addicts, point blank. And drug addicts are candles in the wind. They flirt with death on a daily basis, they're out of their heads on a daily basis, they make bad decisions on a daily basis. Expecting one of 2 addicts to perform acts of responsibility, during active addiction, is infantile of him.
By far the best video I’ve seen. I love that the mom kept her word and gave her ashes.
The update that was just viewed is why I love Steve Wilkos so much. He loves and helps everyone even if they made terrible mistakes
This shit got my ass about to cry in the laundromat. Goodness gracious. 😢
That is so sad.
Time 7:01PM Wed 2/1/23
I loved the ending had me in tears rip lexi 💔😢😪
And some ppl have the audacity to sit there and say the show is "rigged". I'm glad she got her answers and it's still very tragic.
Wow this is a sad episode, you can see and feel the pain in the mother and sisters eyes. I am so sorry for this family’s loss. RIP Lexy! ❤🙏🏾
Much ❤ to the mom for letting it go at the end and forgiving her. That's what her daughter would have wanted. Love & Blessings to you all.
The hug between that mom and Kassidy made me ball my eyes out
This episode hit home super hard. My father in law just recently died from an overdose. It's very hard to tell people what they should have done in that situation. Most people haven't been in situations like that before and mixing drugs into that mix, she wasn't in her right mind to know better. If she had been sober she would have known something serious was wrong, but drugs change how you experience things, how you perceive things, and how you handle things. She went and got help knowing she wasn't in her right mind to make any sort of decisions and unfortunately the help she got wasn't all too helpful and that's what cost Lexi her life. Addicts shouldn't be dying because of laced drugs, they are simply people with undiagnosed mental illness who are just trying to find a way to live comfortably just like the rest of us. I know our family definitely was looking to my FILs girlfriend to blame, but looking back now, she wouldn't have done that and people just made her life more difficult with those sorts of whispers going around. There is a responsibility that people do have when taking drugs, and even people who aren't taking drugs, everyone should always have Narcan. It is free at most health departments and it fits into purses, bags, and even pockets. If you are doing drugs or are around people who are, please, pick up some narcan. Narcan saves lives.
Beautiful well said and underrated comment
Drugs have to be some if not the grossest things on earth 🤢 🚫💔
Man.. that last part. Watching that mom put her baby where she belongs, hit me right in the feels.. Drugs are a choice, and death is always a possibility. Lexy made a choice, unfortunately it ended in a tragic way.
If you even have to ask “should I call the police” call the EMT instead. Better safe than sorry. Addiction is insidious and this happens all the time.
Probably one of the best stories covered so far.
I don't care, the fact that she asked another man if she should call 911 instead of calling is absolutely bullshit, it is her fault that that girl died
So sad. If it was me I’d feel guilty I passed out for two hours instead of making sure she was ok. I would live with the what ifs. I’m sure that is what the mom is thinking. If only she called right then. Bad decisions made there. Rip Lexi. Gone too soon.
Having seen people overdose before, I can see how people wouldn't think that something is wrong right away because it can, at the beginning, sound like they're snoring. I would only know the difference because I've heard it before. I had a roommate who made the same mistake with his cousin. He thought he was just snoring when he was overdosing, he went to sleep, and by the time he checked on him, there was foam coming out of his mouth and he had been not breathing for too long and he was gone. I'm glad she gave her the ashes and forgave her. You don't know what an overdose looks like until you see one.
such a sad story to hear about Lexie I cant imagine loosing the person that u love is really hard to deal with and the mom especially loosing a child isn't easy on any parent but yelling at each other isn't gonna bring her back but I hope and pray they find peace and happiness knowing that Lexie is in a much better place! 😇💙🙏
i am happy this episode turned out the way it did, and she was able to not only clear her name but have a relationship with the mother.
This story was so sad and heart breaking, I’m glad kassidy passed the test….it’s easy to try to tell ppl what they should’ve done in serious situations that u aren’t in….but it’s not always that simple, I’m glad they were all able to come together & be close….I’m so sorry for all of their loss, sending my deepest condolences & sympathy to/God bless Lexi’s mom, sister, kassidy, their families, loved ones , all who knew and loved Lexi and friends , stay strong🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alot of sad stories in the comments. I'm so sorry what you guys have been going through. Stay strong for yourself and your love ones. 🙏🏾❤️ 🕊️
Steve that's so true. Having lost an infant son to SIDS. It still hurts to this day and that was 45 years ago.
i’m so sorry for your loss momma❤
She still took a part in her girlfriend's death. She was scared from how she was breathing that's why she went and got someone. If she felt like something wasn't right she should have called the police PERIOD. They were doing pills together. No excuse.
Thank you! This exact thing happened to my cousin Scott. He couldn’t breathe and his gf was so scared that she drug him out of the hotel room into the parking lot before she called the cops so they wouldn’t see the room. She took to long and it was to late. All because she didn’t wanna get caught. Ofc I don’t think they wished them death, but they played a role regardless.
Steve can't blame her for how she reacted. People act strange on drugs and under pressure
im glad nobody on stage did it one thing i agree with is she should have called 911 immedealy i understand she was freaked out over the situation but still by not calling you make ya self look bad hopefully she will remember that in the future always
The weight of losing someone close is one thing.
But I think Chrystal clearly had the biggest weight lifted off of her shoulders with the lie detector results.
So sad!
Very upsetting to say that if she knew something was wrong at first, she should have called sooner. She clearly stated she took pills as well and not in the right head space.
Glad everything was cleared up for her ❤
It’s a shame how people know what drugs would do to them and see the harm it does to other people and they still don’t have the care in the world. SAY NO TO DRUGS!
💀💀💀 lmao
bro you’re ridiculous lol you clearly don’t understand the concept of addiction
this is always the one that brings me to tears. especially when she kisses the ashes
Such a devastating & heartbreaking story all around. My heart breaks for all 4 of them, Kassidy, Lexi, her mom & her sister. The 3 of them are grieving in their own way & they will forever grieve Lexi. I know most wouldn’t forgive what they put her through, but it’s obvious that Kassidy still cares for them & vice versa. It’s great to hear Kassidy is trying to get her life together, of course it can happen anywhere.. but moving away from all that was a huge step..I’m sure she has a lot of regret she will live with for the rest of her life. But hopefully she continues to stay strong, stay positive. That ending & the voicemail was very bittersweet.
This breaks my heart. I can’t imagine the pain you both are going through.
She should have still called 911. If your asking someone if you should then there is your answer. 🙄
This mother has no real tears,she's just putting on a crying face.
This got me all kinds of emotions . Ending was the icing on the cake 😓 Condolences to the family 🙏
I can’t believe steve and everyone is judging her. You don’t know how you would react until you are in that position. Shame on him
My little sister is in active addiction with fentanyl. I dream about her a lot. I love her with all my heart. Please pray for her. Thank you.
I hate the back and forth that Steve does with drug addicts. Asking why they would or wouldn’t do something is the most pointless set of questions. They don’t have the ability to make those rational decisions while they’re under the influence.
08:50 ?? She said she couldn't move her on her own
Also, with everyone mentioning it, I feel like the guy saying that she was probably fine was probably a semi important factor in the decision to not call, but watch over her instead
This made me cry I’m glad they can become close now because that’s probably what Lexi would of wanted her life can keep them close and help each other cope
Addiction is hell! I’ve lost family and friends to it. It’s heartbreaking
I’m sorry but idc what ANYONE says I’m calling 911 if my boyfriend was in trouble regardless of what I’m under.
Yep. This was murder. She was found guilty at trial!!
This is so sad. I can’t hold her accountable when she wasn’t in her right mind herself. I’m sure she blamed herself enough. I’m so sorry. Sending everyone love and hope
This episode broke my heart into pieces and the ending where her mom gave her the ashes just made me cry.
Wow what a very sad life may Lexi rest in peace.
Drugs and alcohol is so dangerous
I'm gg through a similar situation. My good friend just OD bc his so called friend put fentynal in his drink without him knowing. Now he is dead. 911 should have been called. These situations are very hard to deal with.
All my love to you and your lost one and thier loved ones as well. ❤
Did them dirty with the thumbnail smh lol
I'm glad they where able to make up and stay close they need it they all loved that girl so much u can feel it.
I’m glad the mom shared her ashes with her 😢
She should be atleast be in jail for not calling 911. There's no emotions.
These shows are worth watching, sad but very awesome show, where Steven doesn't act like a clown.. these shows need be shown more often
I’m not crying you are damn onion cutting ninjas. Watching that mother give up those ashes was the most painful and powerful thing I’ve seen in a great while sending positive vibes to all of those involved
I feel bad for everyone involved, but the mom needs to realize her daughter also chose to take drugs. So blaming her GF for taking drugs when her daughter did the exact same thing isn’t helping any. She just wanted to blame someone. I feel bad for the whole family. :(
This was one of the most heartbreaking stories I have watched on your show. I pray that they all continue on the path of healing. God bless them all and you for facilitating this reconciliation.
When you see someone overdosing you know they need help, users die because their friends are too scared to call emergency services because of the legal ramifications.
Or cause they don't know what a overdose looks like. Like she said
With all due respect yes of course that scenario happens but there's plenty of times where other friends or acquaintances are in too deep of a damned stooper to realize let alone how shocking it is to see how many people actively using don't know how to recognize OD let alone know how to use Nathan kits and administer CPR.
Help educate where ever you live. Volunteers are welcome darn near every where . And if you personally know or know anyone too scared to call for help then become an aid to those and encourage them. En-COURAGE them. We all have it. And in majority of states there is no legal ramifications . Sometimes many just need us to show them it's all right to seek help ❤
Cmon Steve??? The girlfriend was high herself and that definitely has something to do with how quickly she reacted like she did, not because she didn’t care. If she was taking the same thing she was definitely not in the right state of mind
Stop! Stop!!! Taking drugs! And why don’t call 199? No excuses
Fact thst they all came together at the end was so nice to see and hear....
Shes in heaven looking down smiling as she see's all the people she loved have come together again..
Bloody drugs..all these young lives ending because of the drugs they take they never really know whats in a tablet....
A life taken far far to young..God bless her..
Poor mother and sister..a pain that will never go away..❤🙏❤️💋
Seeing a mother crying BUT letting her daughter drug until cold dead, and hearing a girlfriend suffer BUT not calling the ambulance when her lover fall under the risk of dying, letting her die, makes them the same guilt.
the mom just wanted someone to blame her guilt on. if she knew her kid was taking drugs she shoulda been a mother and helped her. she cant just blame one damn person. she died by her own choices not by another person. the mother is a poor excuse for a mother. the sister of lexi is the same as her mother, both deserve no sympathy or respect for blaming,traumatizing and hurting another human being for something they didnt do.
I have a daughter in recovery. So proud of her 1.5yr sobriety. I lost her for 5yrs due to heroine. I could have been this mother. I thought I was her every night for 5yrs. Even being on this side of the scenario, I don't blame her for not calling earlier. It's a scary decision, I hear. You don't want to call 911 and have them arrest everyone because you panicked for no reason. It's sad they have to think that way, but it's truth. She got another drug addict's opinion because she's not seen it happen. It's an absolute tragedy, bit no one's fault but the person who took the drugs. It's sad, but it's true.
Im so happy to hear that Kassidy and Chrystal are really close now. Lexy would be so happy. I hope they both find peace and happiness in this life. ❤
Out of all shows I cried on this one when the mom gave her the ashes mad respect
I’m so happy they were able to get over the confusion and get close and trust Each other. Long live lexy
If you wanna risk using street drugs, alone or with others, ask a sober person with basic first aid training to be present.
