Is Ponyboy still alive?

[loathsomeginger]

When I was waiting for a train to Chicago out of Oakland in October I spent about three days with a group of three 'hardcore' train riders. They seemed to know a lot of the other hobos & tramps that I've met, or heard of, riding the rails. I think I remember one of them mentioning Ponyboy, who was featured in Freeload, and that he overdosed on heroin recently. Is he still alive or did he pass away recently? Thanks.

I'm moving this to Missed Connections since it's not an actual obituary. If he did indeed pass we can move it back.

Hope you find your friend.
