Josh Edmond, a 17-year-old from San Leandro, was found dead on Wednesday, June 1, 2005, by his father at their home on Oaks Boulevard. A can of aerosol was found next to his body and investigators determined that he was trying to get a high from inhaling the product.
Edmond had been expelled from high school and had a history of drug use, but had recently begun volunteering and planned to join the Navy.
The inhalant was Maxell Blast Away, an aerosol used to blow away dust from computers.
