"Slimani stated, 'It was after a third bereavement of one of my dearest friends, which was just devastating. All young people in their 50s with terminal cancers that have passed on non-smokers, non-drinkers, several cancers and basically are not here, sadly.'"
"'I don't drink, and it felt like I was going out of my mind, couldn't take it, so I drank,' Slimani explained during his testimony about the circumstances leading to his drink-driving offense."
"'I have been taking Nyquil for a flu which you may call long Covid that kept coming and going,' he added, indicating ongoing health challenges that contributed to his situation."
