As I mentioned earlier in a sarcastic post about the GoFundMe, I did not want to sound cynical in light of someone’s untimely death. But to put it plainly, saying the death was caused by drink spiking will attract far more sympathy, and likely more donations on a GoFundMe, than admitting it was the result of an accidental drug overdose. That is why I think they may have chosen to go with the spiked drink story. I also saw posts suggesting that the death may have been caused by contaminated alcohol and methanol poisoning, among other possible explanations. However, I assume cocaine and heroin were mentioned in the article because a toxicology test was likely performed during the autopsy of the man. As I said before, I think only one recreational drug was intentionally taken here, namely cocaine. My assumption is that the toxicology report was positive for both cocaine and heroin because the cocaine may have been adulterated with heroin and too much fentanyl, which is possibly what caused the overdose and death rather than the cocaine itself.
