Under cause of death it states heart attack due to accidental drug overdose, this is incorrect. While drugs were found in his system there were only trace amounts. Low enough to come to the conclusion that he was not intoxicated at time of death and far below the amount necessary to trigger a heart attack.

Saying his his heart attack was the result of a drug overdose is like saying an auto accident was alcohol related because the driver had a beer 2 days prior. 2600:387:3:805:0:0:0:55 (talk) 06:42, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 07:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it makes perfect sense if you know how Cause of Death and Manner of Death are entered on the death certificate.

drug overdose

In the Death section, I linked to the wiki acetylfentanyl article (wiki doesn't have one for despropional fentanyl). These are illegal drugs--NOT prescription pain meds. The article is definitely improved by clarifying these facts! MorbidAnatomy (talk) 19:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
