Layne and Demri met at a party back in 1988 and it was love at first sight.  They were eventually engaged to be married.  However, their addictions caused damage to the relationship and they broke off their engagement. Sadly, Demri passed away in 1996 of endocarditis caused by her drug use. Many have said Layne never truly got over her death and was a contributor to his downward spiral. 

​

The Alice in Chains song "Died" was written about Demri.  There is lots of information about Demri on the web.  I have also included links to more information about her on my links page.
