MySpace page shows Michael Groff's love of life and car
Michael Groff’s MySpace page, which was set to "private" yesterday, has one photo album with pictures graphically documenting his double-lung transplant, performed to reverse damage caused by cystic fibrosis.
“Just after 4 months ago,” the West Warwick native with the screen name "newlungs" writes of the surgery, “I literally came back to life.”
There are pictures of his fiancee; tombstones with the caption "Not ready yet," and musings on how precious life is.
And there is another photo album with a dozen pictures of his new car: a 2008 black Nissan Altima 3.5 SE – six speed with Lexani Fire Wheels.
Groff, himself, is in only two of those pictures.
The rest are of the car; inside and outside. From the front and from the back. Polished enough to reflect a wooded background in the door panes.
Late yesterday morning, witnesses reported seeing a black 2008 Nissan and a 1998 Honda weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds northbound along Route 95.
The police also had reports that one of the cars may have rammed the other.
Both cars flew off the road and up an embankment near the exit for Interstate 295. Both cars crashed, bursting into flames and were flattened.
The Bristol County District Attorney today identified the victims as Michael Groff, 29, of West Warwick, and Melissa Gauthier, 32, of Cumberland.
