An Aberdeen man died Sunday from injuries received when he was struck by a vehicle on Rt. 22 near Middleton Lane, police said Monday.
Phillip P. Gaskill, 20, of the 400 block of Law Street in Aberdeen died Sunday at University of Maryland R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, Aberdeen police said in a statement Monday afternoon.
Police responded to westbound Rt. 22 near Middleton Lane Saturday at about 8:30 p.m. to investigate reports of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. Arriving officers found Gaskill 20, suffering from serious head injuries.
Police said a 2004 Volvo driven by Oxana Keck of Aberdeen Proving Ground stuck Gaskill just west of the Middleton Road intersection. Gaskill was treated by paramedics from the Aberdeen Fire Department and transported to Shock Trauma, where he was listed in “very critical condition” earlier Sunday. Keck was not injured.
The cause of the incident is still under investigation. Members of the Harford County Sheriff’s Department Traffic Unit are assisting the Aberdeen Police in the investigation.

Part of the famous Gaskill brothers, he was probably playing with his peter when he got hit.
To MIKE KELLY says
Gaskill could have been playing.with his dick or on his way to pick up a script
That was forged
Concerned Teacher says
Really? These are the comments people make about someone who got hit by a car and has life threatening injuries? I’m amazed at the continued lack of civility and respect for human life amongst the commenters on this site. I feel sad for our society.
To MIKE KELLY says
To concerned teacher I am not one to say something that isn’t true.
To MIKE KELLY says
Sorry I. Didn’t get my comment finished I hit the wrong button.anyway I care about people,however I could care less about the ones in our society that are on the streets selling drugs and using them.my kids are grown but how many have kiids that are using right now an they have no clue yet.I have no use for those kind of people I know of his family and they all use drugs,sell so you keep on saying what you want you need to open your eyes an look around you would be surprised at who uses.Oh one more thing these people are writing fake scrips and getting away with it.Who knoows they could be even using neme.so keep on feeling sorry for those nobody

How dare anybody feel good about saying things like this at a time such as this ?? Phil may have made some wrong choices in his life but who hasn’t ?? You ???? HA .. I’m sure you’ve never done “wrong” either .. Phil was obviously more of a caring person than people like you. Just because they’ve made mistakes means you don’t care for them whatsoever and have the nerve to post negative things like this ?? I know the kind of person Phil was .. and he was an amazing guy. Regardless of what comes out of sick minds like your own.

Stay class Dagger Press commenters……….

How dare someone make such a comment about Phil and didnt even know him like alot of us have, he was a caring indvidual not a CRIMINAL… Phil was a great person and like a brother to me, I have known Phil for about 8 years if not more! I will forever miss Phil and may he lay at rest and be in a good home now. And for all you carless assholes out there you need to be aware, what statements your making about some one is not your place to make, this person was a good person you don’t judge someone by a “family” or judge a person at all, because it’s not your place to do so!
dominique hite says
so wrong he died and your gonna make fun
To MIKE KELLY says
You must forget this is the united states freedom of speech that’s right I know what I am talking about I guess you must be as bad as him and what goes around comes around
Noah Alexander Jacob Burton says
Your exactly right what go’s around does come around! And for some one like you Mr. Mike Kelly talking the way you are about someone you don’t even know, and spread awful rumors and comments like that. And who are you to say someone is a user, it takes someone to know someone isn’t that right???? And for your awful comment about me doing drugs or even mentioning I do drugs, I do not, actually you want to know the truth I’m a full time college student who has studied Cyber Crime and Business Management. And I will ALWAYS up lift PHILLIP P. GASKILL’S NAME just so you are aware! He was like a brother to me! So watch what you say Kind SIR.
CONCERNED CITIZEN says
to mr mike kelly i hope nothing every happens to you ID LOVE
CONCERNED CITIZEN says
to see who digs up all your dirt and posts it
Common Sense says
Wow at some of the comments on here. Regardless of his past, show some compassion. A mother and father still lost their child. A driver is probably traumatized. Who cares what he may or may not have done in the past? Those actions can’t be changed now.
And even if you do still feel strongly… That’s fine. You are entitled. But show a little respect to the grieving friends and family. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then please have some couth and keep it to yourself.
To MIKE KELLY says
What a bunch of idots.but then again you look at who is feeling sorry for a thief an pill popper you all must be doing the same thing and mr.full time college cyber student what is that suppose to do impress me an everyone else wrong answer it doesn’t. Now all you need is a job to go with that business management I already have my business get a life big brother who cares so I wouldn’t put threats out unless you plan on doing something about them,but then again you have to look at the sourse.lol what a idiot,see ya at the funeral
Dylan Cook says
If you actually knew Phil like some of us did you wouldn’t be spewing the filth you are out of your mouth and onto this page. Freedom of speech yeah I get it .. you’re able to be a heartless uncompassionate cruel piece of trash and say these things just for reactions like mine so you can try to justify yourself with more insensitive blathering comments. Phil was NOT a bad person. He made mistakes yes, but like I said everyone makes mistakes. Everyone, including yourself Mr Mike Kelly. Anything said isn’t going to change the kind of person that Phil was and will always be to us, and nothing else that you can say is going to do anything but make you look even worse than you already do. You’re just as disgustingly fucked up as the Westboro Baptist Church bigots. See you at the funeral. 🙂 RIP Phil ?
To MIKE KELLY says
I was wondering how long it would take before the filth came out of your mouth.I see where the filth is up your cyber ass.now for the record I can say what I want an really this is none of your business .I. just so happen to be related to that family.if you want to call it that the whole bunch of them including the parents all have a criminal record I can see someone making one mistake maybe even 2.but after you have tried to help them not to mention bail him an others out of jail.an they still due the same thing your right I. Have no smypathy for them.so shut your cyber ass up I tell it like it isi don’t have time to tell you any more tell some one that gives a damm.
Mike Kelly says
I am Mike Kelly and I would ask whoever is posting as “To Mike Kelly” to pick another name for use in this and any other Dagger comments. I chose to use my real name when I commented once on the Health Dept. article on food violations to which you responded.I am seeing responses to your postings using my name and I dont like it.I would appreciate a quick response to this.Thank You.
Brier parrell says
The negative posts on here are APPALLING! karma is a bitch… And to the nasty commenters on here, u have it coming. Obv u have never lost a loved one REGARDLESS of their wrong doings… And if you were half decent yourselves, ud realize addiction is a demon that he may not have had control over… So instead of being nasty spiteful heartless scum open your eyes and realize if u have such a prob w what’s going on around u… Do something to try and help or try and change it! I’m sure when your time comes there will be a lot said about u, and with your nasty attitude and disregard to the deceased and their grieving family,… Itll prob be nasty things. Get a life… Keep your nasty comments to yourself…
The Truth Hurts says
This is a open forum for people to comment to anything written in this paper.I speak the truth an a lot of people including yourself don’t like hearing the truth.I am family to this family an I know what I am talking about.I. have bailed them out an paid for rehab so I would suggest if you don’tlike what is said don’t. Read what is said.I am a family member an if anything is said that you do not like
The Truth Hurts says
Then shut your mouth that’s the problem with society today they are quick too open there mouths an don’t no all the details.I would KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT
Phillip Gaskill says
Whoever you are, you are not a part of his family. I am a family member; therefore, I know you aren’t. We, as his family, acknowledge that freedom of speech is one of the wonderful foundations of this country; however, it is not necessary to drag a dead child’s name through the mud. If you were part of this family, you would know that Phil had a young brother, only 13 years old, who was devastated by what you wrote on this page. Think what you want, feel how you want, but hurting children of any age is beneath contempt. Phil knew who he was, good and bad, and he spent every day trying to improve himself as a son, brother, and person. He is loved and missed by his family.
The Truth Hurts says
I do know this family very well,it is a shame his younger brother is having a hard time right now.I can understand why he is feeling this way.The child has been lied to over the past several years.however it must have been very hard keeping the newspapers from him as well.He should have been told from the begiinning when all the criminal charges were brought up on his mother,father,an brother an jail time instead of lying to him.Its good he has his grand parents to look after him.There were a lot of readers who thought how wrong it was me saying what I did,Well my kids are grown an know what drugs do.THEY KILL YOU! MY SELF BEING A SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELER
Phillip Gaskill says
If you knew our family well, you would know that his brother was never lied to or misled. The truth was always given to him. He knows the effects of drug abuse and he knows the whole truth behind everything the family has been through. Nothing has ever been hidden from anyone in this family. It’s interesting to note that now you are “close” to this family and not a relative…truth runs both ways, doesn’t it? We don’t know who you are and we don’t really care. We do know that your claims of bailing him out and paying for rehab are comletely bogus and untrue, as is everything in your most recent post. Why the lies and overstating of your relation to the family? Phillip made many mistakes in his short life as everyone does. His parents, grandparents and all family were encouraged by the strides he had made in his life, not trapped in the past with those mistakes. He paid his debt to society and followed his probation with no relapses. I am glad your children are grown and aware of the dangers in this world, everyone should know those dangers; however, life throws curve balls that not everyone can handle as well as you and your family. We do the best we can, every day. This family just asks that you leave us to mourn our son and stop feeling the need to hurt us and Phillip, as we hurt enough already. I don’t really understand your need to pour salt on an open wound, and I probably never will. What is gained by this? I will not post any further messages here as I have nothing to gain by it, we would just like Phillip and his familly to be left in peace.
Common Sense says
Sounds to me like you don’t know what the truth is. First you are family, now you are close to the family??!??
People get it. You don’t like the family and have no manners. I don’t for one second believe that you are a substance abuse counseler. Because you have no compassion. Maybe you should just take your own advice and keep your mouth shut. You can’t change the past and bringing it up doesn’t do anything.
Anyway, hopefully you will never have to experience the trauma of a tragedy. I will pray that others still show you compassion no matter what you are like now.
My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Gaskill.
