On New Years Eve, one of our best friends lost his sister suddenly under terrible circumstances. Actually, she died Thursday but she was revived and kept on life support for 72 hours waiting for her to breathe on her own.
She was only in her 40s and she was an organ donor, but her parents weren't allowed to make the decision to allow her to donate them. Her daughter, who is a crackhead, was the one making the decisions and she's only 19 and has no clue about life, and wouldn't allow it because it grossed her out. She's also the reason her mother is dead. The entire story is convoluted and disgusting, and the family is angry at her but trying to move forward.
Everyone has been at our house talking about it and grieving together, and most are also angry at the daughter. But there are a few who are in the camp of "Oh, she's a drug addict, she knows not what she does..."
This pisses me off to no end. Eff that, she's a POS who stole her mother's prescription drugs to sell on the street, then replaced them with street drugs that contained fentanyl. As far as I'm concerned, she should hang high for this. So far nothing has been said about holding her responsible for what she did, although a few are trying to figure out who sold her the street drugs and go after them.
It's not even my family, it's none of my business, it's just for some reason...maybe because I see how my friend and his family are hurting. I don't know. I'm trying to get over it so I can just be there for them in whatever capacity they need. So I came here to let it out. I obviously can't say anything to them about it and my husband isn't bothered by it so I don't want to infect him with my anger.
If all of that is fact, her daughter would be up on manslaughter charges. What she did is a crime that resulted in death.

That's what I think too. But for some reason there has been no talk of that. They have proof of the toxicology but no proof that the daughter did it.
And my apologies, I am sorry for your loss.
You may not be aware of what is happening behind the scenes. If the parents suspected foul play, they would turn over the pill bottle to the police and they would start an investigation. This may be happening right now, as the death is very recent.
Then they would look at who had access and opportunity.
Honestly, it would be odd for a drug addict to steal Rx and replace it with street drugs. They would replace it with something else. Something that had less value, or something less effective (they would want to do/sell both the Rx AND the street drugs).
It's possible your friend became addicted (through no fault of her own, just taking her Rx) and her daughter then got her street drugs. A lot of people started on Rx and progressed to buying off the street.
No one from the outside would know.
But again, even if this were the case, the daughter would probably be charged for providing the drugs.
But again, I'm sorry.

Of course everyone has been talking about it and trying to put pieces together. All we know is she confronted her daughter about her stealing her meds, which prompted the daughter to replace them.
My friend takes care of her grandkids because the daughter is such a mess, and honestly I don't see her being addicted, but you're right, I don't know for sure.

It's just a damn mess.
How did you find out the results of your friend's toxicology report?
I would just caution you to wait some time, before forming an opinion.
But in the mean time being able to share your grief among her friends is a great support system, and I hope there is a chance to formerly say good bye to your good friend.

The family was told what the findings were. Obviously I am only listening to what they are saying and not giving them a hint of what my true feelings are, they don't deserve that.
Thanks for being a good sounding board. It's actually helped.
A family member is a sheriff, and he's aware of the circumstances. I think they are waiting til the services are over and then move on with the business end of it, but I don't know everything. It is family after all, so they could be protecting her.
I am sorry, too, and it would make me angry as well.
This also gave me chills. My best friend has multiple myeloma, and she takes oxycodone for her pain, and she does her best to space them out so she doesn't get too dependent. Her adult daughter watches her meds carefully for her.
This friend had a cousin living with her who needed a place to stay for a while, and the daughter noticed that the pain pills were going down faster than they should. Sure enough, the cousin was helping herself to the pain pills that her cousin was taking for her cancer.
They confronted her, and she admitted taking them "to deal with her anxiety", which is bs, because oxy is not for anxiety. They gave her two months to find other living arrangements, and she moved out.
But your story creeps me out, because what if this one had done the same thing and switched the good pills out for fentanyl? I never even thought of that.
