Adam krieger, blink 182 song

There was this young man who commited suicide and a song by Blink-182 is about him. Do you know, what year did he die? I know it must have been fairly recent.

I cant seem to find the date, all it says is the band got an email, doesnt say when
the song was recorded in 1999 so probably a little before that?

Hi,

This is what Blink 182 said about the song:

Tom said in an interview, 'The story behind that is Mark read a letter someone sent him as an e-mail, that a kid wrote before he committed suicide to his parents. We kind of got together and wrote this sad, slow song. It came out sadder than we ever thought it would, which is good too. Any song that moves you is good. Some people listen to it and go 'Wow, that's a real bum-out of a song.' But it's one of those things, a story of a kid not being happy in his life, crossed with us being really lonely on tour. At the end of it there's a better way out, there are better things to do than kill yourself.'
That's the story, the kids name wasn't Adam, and he was a fan, but not a personal friend. It's about someone that's not happy with life, either being lonely or on tour, and contemplating suicide, when he then see's the light. There's a better way out and tomorrow will hold better day's. That's what the songs about. Also if your looking for a more technical answer. The song on the guitar and bass is tuned down 1 whole step. Thanks for your question.

I'm not sure where you got Adam Krieger's name from, but the band claims the kid's name wasn't even Adam.
