Editing Dwayne Goettel (section)

==Death==
In the months leading to his death, Goettel confided to Key that he had not curbed his use of heroin, despite telling others that he had cleaned up. Key and his friends sought to help him and adopted a [[Narcotics Anonymous]] style of approach to the situation.<ref name="WeirdEnergy" /> Shortly before his death, he had become self-destructive to the point where in one instance, according to Ogre, he had shaved his head and wrapped barbed wire around his arms.<ref name="McCaughey96" /> After Skinny Puppy disbanded, he spent a month in an Edmonton rehab center before returning to the studio to work on the Download album ''Furnace''. He was later readmitted to rehab where he was placed on suicide watch after slashing his arms.<ref name="WeirdEnergy" /> On August 23, 1995, Goettel, age 31, was found dead from an apparent heroin [[overdose]] at his parents home in Edmonton.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Heroin Overdose Kills Skinny Puppy Drummer |journal=[[Chicago Tribune]] |publisher=[[Associated Press]] |date=August 25, 1995 |page=2}}</ref>

Goettel's sister had notified Key of his death. "It was the weirdest, oddest déjà vu ... It was almost as though I had lived it in a dream".<ref name="WeirdEnergy" /> Goettel's father, Rudy, said his son was a well liked person and had always avoided confrontation with others. He said that the family had received hundreds of phone calls from fans around the world who wished to express their sympathies.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Friends Salute Skinny Puppy's Dwayne Goettel |journal=[[Edmonton Journal]] |date=August 25, 1995 |page=D11}}</ref> Ogre gave his condolences to the family and called Goettel Skinny Puppy's "genius behind the curtain".<ref>{{cite journal |title=Obituaries: Dwayne Goettel, 31 |journal=[[The Boston Globe]] |publisher=[[Associated Press]] |date=August 26, 1995 |page=17}}</ref> Key told ''[[Chart Attack|Chart]]'' magazine in 1998 that Goettel was "a ranger and rover" who was thoroughly familiar with psychedelic experiences:<ref name="Hofmann">{{cite journal |last1=Hofmann |first1=Pieter |title=Cevin Key: Tete a Tete |journal=[[Chart Attack|Chart]] |date=March 1998 |url=http://litany.net/interviews/chart1.html}}</ref>

<blockquote> He was endorsing acid all the time and everyone felt he was in control and didn't consider him a risk to hurt himself ...  Its [heroin’s] rally is the ultimate devil drug in that it fools you into thinking that you can try it a couple of times and you are O.K. ... The recovery from heroin is a really bitter road. It's like you have to get over the flu before you can walk. And I think Dwayne got stuck. He wasn't able to.<ref name="Hofmann" /></blockquote>
