Please. Stop blaming police. His friends were sh*ts for letting him wander off in the cold while drunk. It's not their fault he died; it's his. But they should have called you. That's what friends do.

When I was in highschool the drinking age was 18 and kids drank without any resistance. There were hardly any consequences for drunk driving either. Walked home miles drunk from parties many times in all times of year. Nobody even thought about accompanying anybody in their journeys home after splitting up. Not one person in my gigantic and inebriated Churchill school ever died of alchohol poisoning. Tons of kids did tons of pot, mushrooms and acid all the time as well. Nobody thought anything of it because nobody got hurt. Kids think they are invincible and in many ways their bodies are actually extremely resilient.

I know OP is in great pain. It is such a heartbreaking story. So sad to imagine that friends would not let Navid ride with them and pay back later. So sad the parents were not called by Navid or his friends. It chokes me up to think about it, in OPs shoes I would find it unbearable to carry on day-to-day things like work and meals. OP, I hope you will find some distraction and semblance of peace in helping others avoid tragedy, as you are doing.

One thing that helped me greatly in my first year of grieving was this process: unravel and isolate the many many threads of your feelings so that you can address them one at a time. The reason is that when the various threads are intertwined they are utterly overwhelming, they roll around in your brain beyond your control. Isolate each thread and focus on it and own it fully. Not just regret, anger, pain, guilt, etc. but very specifically, like 1. I cannot tolerate the knowledge that he laid there in the cold while I was warm at home. 2. I have unbearable anger at the teens who let him walk home alone. 3. I'm frantic to know more about why this happened. 4. The fact that race is being ignored fills me with frustration. And so on. Sorry to be preachy and put words in OPs mouth that may not be OPs reality, it's just that if OP is not seeking professional help, perhaps these examples can show the thought process that at least helped me to manage pain (which never goes away).

Navid/his friends show up to a whitman house party uninvited. It gets too loud so the parents tell people to leave, then the cops show up. Naivd and his friends told the cops there were no problems and that they were going home. His friends asked Navid for cash but he didn’t have any so they told him to call his own uber where he said he would just walk with one of his friends instead. The friend made it home fine but once Navid was by himself he was too drunk to navigate home. He bought the liquor in DC with the fake id that was found in his wallet. Parties happen a lot and his friends were negligent which is why he unfortunately passed. Nobody told the cops anything in the investigation because they didn’t want to face any charges and obviously they wouldn’t want to be associated with this. Look at the text history/snapchat messages if you still are able to and you can piece together what took place

Who pays for an Uber with cash?
