Boston police dismantle meth factory; MIT student dies at hedonist sex party

BOSTON   Agents began dismantling a massive Southie drug factory yesterday where MIT graduate Kevin McCormick was found dead after an apparent wild weekend sex romp gone wrong. Police say they found hundreds of chemicals used to concoct club and date-rape drugs such as crystal methamphetamine and “Special K.”

“This is probably the largest (meth) lab we’ve seen in the Northeast in the past 10 years,” said an investigating agent from the Drug Enforcement Administration who refused to give his name. “This is not a small lab. This is not a mom and pop lab.”

Investigators found chemicals used to manufacture crystal meth, ecstasy and the date-rape drugs gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) and ketamine hydrochloride (“Special K”) in a storage area and lab that took up part of the second floor of the commercial building at 369 Congress St.

McCormick, an engineering student turned high-tech artist whose work was featured at prominent shows such as Burning Man, was found dead after what police say was a drug-fueled sex bash. Those who knew McCormick described the MIT grad as a “friendly, supportive, nurturing, artist.”

...

That changed Sunday when police found McCormick, 29, dead in a room called “The Dungeon.” He was wearing a mask and wetsuit-style body suit. Police have not identified McCormick as the dead man, but Bachrach said it was him.

A man whose employer rents space in the building described “group bondage parties” and other “weird (expletive).” He also said hamsters had been found in the basement.

Freedom to liberals: the sacred right to wreck one's life at hedonist meth parties. To condemn this is prudish, and to prevent it is fascism.

While punks (affectionately called Bohemians by some) who follow this behavior do self-assuredly think themselves uniquely enlightened, as well as entitled to such decadence by virtue of plain delinquent attitudes ("Because I can"), Kevin McCormick's death represents much more: it is the fulfillment of centuries-old libertine ideals outlined by the likes of Nietzsche, that through "eternal recurrence" ("the idea that one is, or might be, fated to relive forever every moment of one's life, with no omission whatsoever of any pleasurable or painful detail."), the ultimate goal of life is to live for one brief moment of climax or ecstasy, and then - knowing that such achievement can never be repeated - to kill oneself.

This is the way of the junkie -- and of academic elitists, alike.

Sounds like Richard Gere must have been at that party.

Young artist with a promising future?

I'd say that if he was hanging around a meth lab he didn't have much of a future at all.

A large fat senior senator was seen driving away in an Oldsmobile before the police arrived.

Is that a euphemism?

This story has nothing to do with Nietzsche or eternal recurrence.

If only Massachusetts allowed gay marriage, none of this would have happened.

He may be dead, but he's still a Kennedy voter.

Sex and death (sodomy and abortion) are private matters. There is no crime here. Nothing to see, move along. The black robes order you to be quiet. < /sarcasm >

I don't know - it's been floating around the Web since '04. There's a more detailed version - I'll see if I can dig it up.

I was led to believe all that crap about hamsters was made up. It doesn't sound professional to do your partying and drug cooking at the same street address.

By the way, the film version of "Rent" will be opening soon...

Kevin McCormick?

Any relation?

If so, no wonder he died.

The conclusion of the article:

"...the drug is growing in popularity among some gay men who search the Internet looking for sex parties where the drug is offered, state officials and counselors said."
