i am not saying this is common, but i know of a situation like this.
my friend took a pill out of a Tylenol bottle at home and died. turns out his daughter, who had overdosed and died a few weeks before, was using regular pill bottles to store her street drugs in. it was a real tragedy.
sorry to say, there was no justice for my friend. the trail was too cold and too many street drugs out there.
i hope the daugher gets the help she needs. but, i would say the daughter's kids are the immediate need. i hope they don't fall through the cracks.

I'm so sorry. This is crazy to hear this is becoming "normal".
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.
Yup. No addict is putting their stash of street drugs as "dummy meds" in a bottle of prescription meds. The folks I know who did this (yes, he did eventually die of an OD) would use a similar looking pill of something cheap with no psychoactive value from the store.
Not saying daughter could not have accidentally misplaced a pill that mom found, or have been using an old bottle of mom's to stash her street drugs in, but it isn't likely she put any street drugs as a replacement for stuff she stole from mom's bottle, she would have just taken it all.
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.
So, the bigger picture here is why? Honestly, in my whole life, I’ve never thought of taking drugs. Why are our children doing this?
Just because you have not done drugs does not mean others back then were not. The drugs may have been different but let's not pretend drug use is a new problem.
Frequently if police cannot prove a malicious act with ample evidence or a confession, charges won't be filed.
It's horrible but exactly why police tell you to evict addicts.
OP I feel for you, I have been there.
My thoughts? Let the daughter have it. NOT at the funeral, or celebration of life.
Find a time when you can be clear about how evil her act was.
I wish you healing......
Yeah, if the prosecutor doesn't feel it's a good case, it will be skipped.

OMG, people have been doing drugs for 1000s of years. Maybe you weren't around in the 60s?
Hell, literally everyone I know has done drugs back in their youth. They are all upstanding adults now.
The problem now is the drugs are more dangerous.
