Sixteen-year-old Charlie Harp took his own life last Friday after taking two doses of the popular anti-influenza drug, Tamiflu. Thousands are being prescribed the drug each day as this flu season has been one of the worst in recent years.
The Indiana teen was a dedicated student and an upcoming member of the school’s wrestling team, who was described by his Aunt Jackie Ray as “full of life.” Jackie was also Charlie’s legal guardian and told WXIN he had been diagnosed with the flu last Thursday. Within 24 hours, Charlie was gone.
According to Jackie, Charlie took Tamiflu the minute they got it from the pharmacy on the day of his diagnosis. His guardian wanted to get the drug into him as quickly as possible to start combating the dangerous illness and get her nephew back in good health.
