that had a wreck (and died?) and when the car was opened, his 'friend' was doing certain oral things to him (or vice versa)?

I can't remember for the life of me. We (coworkers and I) were talking about the Oilers and somebody asked if anybody remembered who the person in question was, and nobody knew.

That whole thing is a rumor. All that is really known is that Alm had a wreck and upon discovering his buddy was dead, he blew his brains out.

65532ag nailed it.

And from sources in the Houston police community at the time, it pretty much happened just like that.

Oh my gosh, that is disturbing. I don't know why I don't remember that.

neither a search for jeff alm gay and "jeff alm" & oral turned up any stories. Not that I don't believe it, but usually there'd be something on the internet discussing it.

For some reason I was thinking it was David Williams, but I think he was the one who missed a game to attend the birth of his kid.
Texas Aggie '99
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep, that's him. Thanks.

I never saw it officially confirmed anywhere, but that was the word on the street shortly after it happened.
bobcat goldthwait

David Williams missed that game to felate another dude. I heard it from some cop buddies of mine.
AiTx

Bobcat - wasn't that Fred Akers?
bobcat goldthwait
How long do you want to ignore this user?
fred akers was never a felater. Darrell Royal, on the other hand, loved it. Couldn't get enough of it.

Okay, so did he shoot himself because his man-lover was dead? Or because his member had been "amputated"? Or because he's certainly be outed?

Jeff Alm 's frantic message: "I have a buddy down'

By S.K. BARDWELL
Staff




After trying to understand Jeff Alm 's frantic directions, a 911 dispatcher listened helplessly as the Houston Oiler laid his cellular phone down on his wrecked car and fired four shotgun blasts, including one that killed him.

Listening to tape of the 911 call, made early Dec. 14 after Alm 's car crashed into a guardrail on the southbound ramp of the West Loop onto U.S. 59, only confirmed investigators' beliefs that Alm committed suicide, said Houston police homicide Sgt. Johnny Moore.

The wreck killed the Oilers defensive tackle's childhood friend Sean Lynch. Both men were 25. Lynch was thrown from the car, over the railing and onto the concrete below the ramp.

At the beginning of the minute-and-a -half-long call, Alm yells "Sean, are you all right?" At the end are four blasts from a shotgun.

Moore said Wednesday his investigation is complete, except for the results of toxicology tests conducted in Alm 's autopsy. Those results will not be available until after the first of the year, and Moore indicated doubt that they would change his conclusions about the incident.

Listening to the tape, Moore said, "You can tell (Alm 's) a little confused about where he is ... he was excited."

At one point Alm says, "I have a buddy down ... " followed by something unintelligible, but Moore said there was nothing in the call to indicate Alm was intoxicated.

Lynch's blood alcohol content measured slightly higher than .30 when he died. The legal blood alcohol limit for driving is .10. Lynch was not driving the car when it crashed.

Moore said nothing unusual was found in Alm 's Cadillac, nor anything to indicate the two had been drinking in the car. He said police have not determined where the two were before the wreck, "and we really have no interest in finding out ... we have no unanswered questions" about the case.

The tape contains frantic exchanges between Alm and an emergency dispatcher, followed by about 20 seconds of silence and a shotgun blast. Two more shotgun blasts are heard after brief intervals, each sounding farther away, he said. Finally, the sound of the fourth blast is heard.

The first officer to reach the scene found Alm sitting with his back to the guardrail, dead from a shotgun wound to the head. Lynch's body lay below the ramp. .....

Alm 's tragic last call

Transcript of Jeff Alm 's 911 call from his cellular phone on Dec. 14:

Dispatcher: Go ahead.

Alm : On, uh, 59 north where 59, uh, meets uh 610. I have a buddy down ... (garbled) ... going north on 610. 59 at 610.

Dispatcher: OK, north side or south side?

Alm : Uh, 59 where, uh, 59 north at, on, uh ...

Dispatcher: 610?

I've never heard this story before. Kinda weird.

I wonder which "Buddy" he was referring to as being down?

If he'd shot and killed his friend after a wreck, then the police wouldn't have just pushed it under the rug like nothing happened.
AgCPA95

I'm sure there were numerous witnesses to the suicide - I don't think he shot his buddy.

Even at 3am in the morning there is plenty of traffic going through that 610 - 59 ramp.

Anyone ever seen "The World According To Garp" starring Robin Williams?

Similar incidents.

Add me to the list of 'friends of friends' who had 1st hand knowledge. In this case my best friend's neighbor worked at the hospital where he was taken.

It was out and with his friend who got thrown from the car. Very sad for everyone involved.



MY Quaid
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, but did the friend die from the wreck, or from a shotgun blast as someone suggested upthread? I'm pretty sure if he shot his buddy 3 times with a shotgun it would have made the news.

BTW, it isn't exactly 1st hand knowledge if it was "your best friend's neighbor". Isn't that how every urban legend starts?
PJYoung
How long do you want to ignore this user?
See, what I was saying is that the friend of a friend is the one with 1st hand knowledge. I guess that could be read both ways. My knowledge is more like 3rd or 4th hand. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't stand up in court.

AiTx
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, my connection is a longtime friend who is a lawyer in Houston and knows quite a few policemen.

I had never heard the thing about him shooting his partner - I'd heard the partner was dead and he killed himself, presumably from grief - he was dead when the cops got there.

But his "member" no longer being part of him is, presumably, correct.
PJYoung
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I always just assumed he fired 3 times in the air and then shot himself. I don't think anyone ever said he shot his friend except for a poster in this thread.
MY Quaid
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That makes sense. I think that's probably what happened, too, but like bobcat said, there is nothing on google or snopes about it. I understand that the family wouldn't want that stuff released, but you'd think in 10 yrs that if it were true, something would come out.
