THERE ARE FAMILY AND FRIENDS READING THESE COMMENTS. Belittle yourself and get out of here, should’ve been you, not him. Get educated being an addict is a disease and 2:10 people beat the disease. He was an amazing person, and certainly not a “bad egg” either. Love you arseny. Rest in paradise.
…Have- have you ever been to Castaic?

A young life was lost, this isn’t a joke, it can happen anywhere not just castaic
Kimberly Ellis, I don’t know who you think you are, but classy is not it!!!!!
I think it is very sad that a life was lost, the person was around my age too. However, I am still not surprised this happened in a Castaic motel.
Classic comment from a Valencia kid. You aren’t better than anyone. This can happen anywhere.
P.s- I’m purposefully singling where you’re from out. Just so you know how it feels to be judged just because of where you are from. Not fun, is it?
(No harm to anyone who went to Valencia high:))

I’m from Castaic, what’s your point?
Very low comments, from a very insecure low person. Arseny was a dear friend. Rip brotha
Kimberly, consider the fact that his loved ones (such as Garrett) might be reading these comments. You need to think before you post.
Garrett, I am horribly sorry for your loss. Our condolences are with you.

Oh brother..what a shallow comment from the classy lady..as if something like that could never happen in her town..someone dies and people make dumb shallow comments.I don’t live in Castaic but that comment was unnecessary. Grow up
I didn’t read all of the comments but did see a few negative. I have lived in Castaic since 94 and I love it here. Yes it could happen anywhere!

Her name is Kimberly ellis.a few posts down…ridiculous

Don’t get me started, I hate ignorant, stupid people!! That think they are better
Can people please stop calling my brother stupid and ignorant
You all realize I’m from Castaic, right? I’m speaking from experience when I say that Castaic isn’t exactly Beverly Hills. It’s a tiny trucker town. There’s prostitutes. It doesn’t surprise me at all that someone passed away of a drug overdose in that hotel.
Kimberly Ellis maybe we should keep our bad comments to ourselves… It’s not ok to judge if you don’t know what that person was going through… he’s a human been and son of God just like you… this person has family as well… how would you feel if you see negative comments about someone in your family? Specially if that person past away… it’s very sad :'(
Oh brother… here we go. Lol…Lucy, ignore it…love to all..time to move on. GOD bless you all…
I just blocked mr.gregory..you can do the same lucy..i see he picked on you earlier..it’s ok to dialog without people being hateful..GOD IS GOOD
He sure is ♡
Gregory, or anyone: I don’t believe in God, but I respect everyone’s right to do so. When a believer says they will pray for someone, that is truly a high honor. You must realize that to them, that is everything. Their prayers will never hurt anyone, unlike you leaving ugly comments on here might. Consider the fact that the deceased’s parents or loved ones might be reading through these for condolences.
Prayers for him and his family

You act as if everyone in Castaic is scum. You know what they say about assuming things? It makes you an ass. There’s bad eggs everywhere and we are not certain that this was related to any of that nonsense. How about you stop and take a minute to understand that someone has died and now there are those left to grieve.

They said it’s a suspected drug overdose. That can happen anywhere. Very sad!

Sorry to hear this, I live in WI and have stayed here twice and am planning on coming back in November. The owners and the staff are very nice, nothing fancy but great for the price. I love the Castaic area.

No joke my son was conceived at this hotel lol
No joke my son was conceived at this hotel lol
This kid was one of my best friends growing up in high school. We used to party all the time. Sadly he started using after high school and he’s tried so hard to get clean but it’s so hard to quit this drug from hell. I still can’t believe this. He texted me a couple hours before this happened and I replied but he didn’t answer. I’m still in shock. This is unbelievable. Rip
You insensitive people… shame on you. This young man’s name was Arseny and my son was a classmate of his in 4th grade at Legacy Academy. Arseny was a sweet boy with chubby cheeks and a constant smile on his face. I will always remember him as a happy boy wearing his school uniform and smiling a big smile. Now excuse me while I go wipe away my tears…
he saw the body or he saw it happen? Jonathan Cabrera

Drug overdoses are very common In motels …in any town
How sad:(
Keep the family involved in your thoughts and prayers.
So sad
Maybe if it was you
It’s not funny
How can people jk in situations like this… very sad
Holy poop.
Never funny when you lose a loved one. Someone is hurting be sympathetic gees.
I almost worked at the front desk there.
So sad… prayers and condolences to the family :'(
And people need to stop being so cruel
Stayci Donihue…
Rip Arseny
miss you brotha.
such a young beautiful life cut short, You will be missed.
So very sad, my prayers go out to the victims family. And also to those making rude comments. Someone died have some respect Kimberly Ellis.
i always kind of figured this would happen
Sending prayers to the family
Our thoughts are with his family.
Death is a sensitive subject, and on the internet you have no idea who might read your comment. Would you tell his parents who saw your joke to stop being so sensitive?
Did you guys stop to think that the deceased’s parents or loved ones might be reading these comments for condolences? Good job making light of a tragedy for others. I’m certain if you were involved in this situation you wouldn’t be making jokes.
Druggies will die…better him than him killing someone for drug money
RIP.
How sad for this young man family. Prayers for them. I live in Castaic and it’s a great place. These situations can happen anywhere.
what a sad, lonely way to go.
I’ve been told that this hotel is where kids go to party. I live in Castaic and have been told that by several kids. This hotel needs to screen or patrol to make sure no parties are go in on.
That’s stupid….then they will just party in the streets…….hotel>street
True, they could die on a bed and not the curb.
Faith Stroup Slusher, eeekkkkk

R.I.P Arseny. I remember classes with you. You were hilarious and always kept me laughing and smiling. It was amazing to have gotten to know you. Fly high. You will forever be missed.
Oh my gosh , thank you for sharing

Here’s an idea little children if you want to banter back and forth go on your own social media and give this family some respect. Disgraceful that so many think everything is always about them. It’s NOT. Grow up and shut up. No one cares what you think. As I said it NOT about you.
Does anybody know the name of the 20-year-old boy who died at the Days Inn motel in Castaic ?
It makes me sick to read this, If he was with someone that left him behind I hope the police go after them. I can’t even understand why they wouldn’t call for help.
My thought exactly Anna. But my guess is they will want to cover their own ass. Many have no idea what the true meaning of the word “friend” is or they would of tried to intervene instead of participate. Nothing good can EVER come from doing drugs. So young now all his hopes and dreams are gone. So sad and a waste of what could of been a beautiful life if drugs had not taken a role in his life.
Family and friends have read these comments and for those of you who posted rude comments I just pray that the disease of addiction never touches your family. It’s no respecter of social, economic, racial or any other differences. It devastates and destroys families. Try educating yourself on the disease. For those of you that send prayers and good wishes – Thank you and God Bless.
