Was this segment ever syndicated? Not sure if I asked that already.

Yes, it was syndicated. It was paired with "Pickup Truck Heroes".

I think this is probably the first episode that I watched of Rescue 911 where someone actually died

[RogueKnight12866]

A heartbreak really. This goes to show why there needs to be more education about the dangers of huffing butane, and indeed other petroleum based products. By doing this, this caused the premature end of a life that just barely begun to make its mark on the world. God Bless those left behind.

I've seen this episode many times, and it still makes me so sad. I wonder how the family is, I know they never fully recovered, but I still wonder. Momento Mori-Remember Death.

A tragic yet valuable lesson, when you use drugs, consider who you are hurting.

why do all the kids do this? crazy, buy a joint if you need to get high. at least it's natural and not going to kill you.

No, the show got cancelled in 1996, and re-runs haven't been shown in the USA since 2005. I think Zone Reality in the UK is currently showing re-runs.
