Video Plan to Aid Addict Goes Awry

Luis Torres’ friends figured they could get him off heroin if he could only see himself on drugs, so they videotaped him as he was coming down from a high. For six or seven minutes, they recorded him as he went through body-racking seizures and struggled to breathe. But Torres, 32, never got to see the tape. The Union City, N.J., carpet installer died a few hours later, apparently of an overdose. Prosecutor Terrence Hull said no charges will be filed.
