Fiancée Mourns OZZFEST Casualty
August 18, 2007Margaret F. Bonafide of the Asbury Park Press reports: Raymond Guarino, one of two people who died of possible overdoses while attending an Ozzfest concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center on Thursday, was a "sweetheart" who overcame a difficult early life, according to his fiancée and her family.
Guarino, 26, was to be married within the next year to Sabrina Brown, 20, of Forked River. They had been living in the Sunrise Boulevard home of Gina Brown, 46, and her son, Raymond, 22.
Authorities are investigating whether Guarino's death, as well as the death of a 24-year-old Long Island, N.Y., man, are drug-related. At 3:15 p.m. Thursday, troopers and paramedics responded to a first-aid call for a man who collapsed at the Holmdel arts center. The man, later identified as Guarino, was transported to Bayshore Community Hospital, where he died at 11:25 p.m., according to State Police.
Guarino had gone to Ozzfest on Thursday while his fiancée went to work. That afternoon, Gina Brown got a call that Guarino had been hospitalized. The Browns went to the hospital, where Guarino was on life support and had multiple cardiac arrests. They learned about 11 p.m. that Guarino had died.
