Lets not feel this outcome is good. He still died as a drug abuser. It makes no difference that they were perscribed meds folks.

I think that that was the intended implication of the word "abuse" in the report--that the drugs were used in an irresponsible way or at least in a way (or to a degree) for which they were not intended. It need not reflect in any way on Heath's character, or diminish the tragedy of his death.

But it wasn,t intentional Ross. That,s not a very nice thing to say, especially now.

I don't see why it is necessary to label it.

To add to this..
My point is, it wouldn't make a difference if he had died of anything other than prescribed meds..
IMO, the point is - there is a family out there who is grieving the loss of a son, father, brother...

I think this is my last word on this.  *sigh*

First of all, nobody here feels the outcome is good. Second, it was an accidental overdose. Thirdly, it makes a huge difference if it's drugs prescribed by a doctor or crack/heroine. That's three objections to your comment that I find highly disturbing.
