Brandon Carl Vedas (known as ripper on IRC) ( April 21, 1981 - January 12, 2003 [1]) was a member of the Shroomery.org website and community. He died during the night of a prescription drug overdose while chatting in an IRC chat room (#shroomery @ irc.shroomery.org) and broadcasting himself live via a webcam. Vedas had consumed Cannabis, Inderal, Klonopin, Methadone, Restoril , and 151-proof rumThis article is about the liqour.

Although some chat room users initially cheered him on, others feared for his life as his words become less coherent, and pleaded with him to stop. When Vedas lost consciousness, users of the chatroom considered informing the policeFor the band, see The Police. For the Polish town, see Police, Poland. Police forces are government organisations ostensibly charged with the responsibility of maintaining law and order. The word comes from the French, and less directly from the Greek pol and asking that they trace Vedas's cellphone, the number to which he had posted so that they could call him if something went wrong. The members of the chat were hesistant to contact the police, fearing an investigation. One user says he or she began to call the police, but talked his or her way out of the phone call after other users told him or her to hang up. According to Brandon's brother, who maintains BrandonVedas.com, the information Brandon gave to the users in the chat, as well as the address in his domain name registration would have been enough for the police to locate Brandon. He confirmed this with the local police.

His mother discovered the body in the afternoon of January 12, 2003. [2].
