In fact, she had been transferred from the hospital to her home to spend her last hours with her family. Pollock passed and walked 14 hours to be able to see her before she passed: “She’s in a lot of pain, but for a brief moment we shared, I made her smile and laugh, and the stress vanished from her face for a few seconds.”

As can be seen from the photos posted on Facebook, his grandmother was encouraged to smoke marijuana with him: “She was the most real until her last hours. And my heart is broken, but full. And these are my last memories with my grandmother. Now my favorite memory (…) the best joint I have ever smoked in my life “, counted.

After his death, Pollock launched a GoFundMe campaign to “pay off some of the debts he left behind, his medical bills and also the funeral”.
