What makes the situation even more heartbreaking is the fact that Heyward's final Instagram post was a tribute to Sangouthai. 

"#RIP To my big brother Jamie who always brought light into any room he walked into and laughter as well at all times J you will always be missed. Family for life. #BandOfBrothers #tbt," Heyward had captioned the photo with Sangouthai (far right), Odom (center), and another friend (bottom left).
