Haynes’ brother, Seth, adds: “I just want to put awareness out there that it can happen very quickly, and we don’t want to lose any more amazing people.”
Families affected by sudden loss may benefit from crisis intervention support, and in some regions, may consult wrongful death legal teams to explore accountability in public safety or product labeling.
What Is Chroming and Why It’s So Dangerous
Haynes’ cause of death has been confirmed to be from chroming – a trend that involves inhaling toxic chemicals. Such substances can lead to respiratory failure, organ damage, and brain hypoxia, requiring immediate emergency diagnostic tools and toxicology screenings.
Chroming, also called solvent abuse, is when a person gets high from breathing in or inhaling a chemical like glue or solvent, as per Care In Mind.
Although people of all ages engage in the trend, it’s most common among young adults and teenagers — often beyond the visibility of school wellness counselors or mental health risk assessments funded by pediatric health insurance plans.
