“I never saw it coming at all,” Emily Bundy, a friend and former classmate of Joseph Crabtree’s, told the Tulsa World.

Bundy said he had struggled with prescription drug abuse.

“When he came back (from boarding school), he was so excited to tell me that he didn’t want to use them anymore,” she said.

She said she spoke to Crabtree last weekend while he was vacationing with a friend’s family in Florida. He told her that he had suffered a bad anxiety attack and had been thinking about his father a lot, who she said died about six years ago.

Crabtree’s mother flew to Florida to pick him up on Saturday, Bundy said.

“I texted him Saturday, but he didn’t read it,” Bundy said. “I kept texting him, and finally he shut his phone off. I kept calling him and finally texted his mom and asked when they would be home, and she said ‘Hopefully late Monday night.’ ”

Bundy said Crabtree had traveled to the East Coast in June to see his younger brother and sister, who had moved there a year ago.
