Death Speaks in Funny Voices 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Many people have sucked on helium balloons when they were little kids. You get to talk in a funny voice and maybe a short pleasant high. This is the story of one man who decided that balloons were just on too small a scale.
This wasn't just any ordinary man. He was a smart one, having risen in the ranks over 20 years to VP of information systems at a software company. Nevertheless, he tried to inhale helium from a 20 pound tank over 2 feet tall. Most unfortunately, he soon found out that when helium takes up space in your system, something else like oxygen has to leave. He was found dead on the floor of his mobile home. Submitted on 03/02/02
