1. What about prescription substances?

[dipsydoodle]

3. What about them

Got first hand experience have you ?

[tridim]

9. I have no experience with prescription substances.

But I've had friends who have. One is dead.

[dipsydoodle]

11. You actually missed the obvious

There are non prescription drugs yet to be classified as illegal here in the UK.

5. Alcohol was present.

In what concentration?

[dipsydoodle]

7. See here

They say tests indicate alcohol was present but it cannot yet be determined if it played a role in the singer's death last month.

10. That doesn't say anything about concentration.

[dipsydoodle]

12. Doesn't need to

would have been mentioned if significant i.e. here in the UK.

[LisaL]

13. The info about the results is coming from her family.

Not from any official.

[dipsydoodle]

14. See you think they're editing the official results ?

Give them a break.

[LisaL]

15. I am saying I don't know what the official results are.

And the family haven't mentioned anything about concentration of alcohol present.

22. It would take an immense amount to kill someone

I've been bombed beyond belief at times, and the worst that happened is I hugged the bowl.

24. Not necessarily....

It would depend on the kind of alcohol, how much was ingested in what amount of time, the weight of the person, etc.

This is one of the reasons why I don't drink. I'm very sensitive to medications and alcohol. It takes far less for me to get trashed than it does for most people.

6. Alcohol withdrawal unmonitored

can be fatal. Having seen her doctor the day before her death why didn't they insist she be hospitalized?

[LisaL]

8. Since alcohol was present, how would it possibly be

alcohol withdrawal? Please.

[Seedersandleechers]

16. Good point.

I guess we need to see the actual coroner's report.

[dipsydoodle]

17. Inquest won't occur until October.

19. Tolerance.

Please.

18. Unlike heroin, or cocaine, detoxing from alcohol CAN. KILL. YOU.

Yet, it's legal.


P.S.
And they still can take your children away if you discretely smoke a doob.

25. We had to have substantial evidence that any drug use significantly

affected the care of the children before our supervisors' would okay the children being taken into custody when I worked for Child Protective Services. Of course I retired ten years ago. I never worried about marijuana; HOWEVER, the case just fell into your lap when a parent used methamphetamine - you simply couldn't ignore the damage that was being done there - even if you wanted to do so. Meth use is always bad news.

20. Was she some kind of US Democratic icon? Was Anna Nicole Smith or Michael Jackson?

What is this topic doing in this forum? :wtf:

[ZombieHorde]

21. Exactly. This is entertainment news. nt

[dipsydoodle]

23. Nope - just a popular person

who normal people discuss.
