Ian Stuart went into the forest of Albion and found a young Pete Doherty shooting heroin. This was around 1993. He asked Pete if he could just have a little shot, just a little something to pass the time. Pete actually confused Stuart for a tree and thought that Stuart was asking him if he wanted to become one. So, in essence, Stuart agreed and became Doherty. Thus, Stuart is still alive and kicking, just in an effigy that no one, including you, could have dreamed of.
