This article says he died peacefully, in his sleep.
With fentanyl, I’m not sure one would even make it to their bed....unless, of course, that is where all of these young people are taking their fentanyl.
21st century version:
“Now I lay me down to sleep
A hit of fent’nyl at my feet;
When I die before I wake
Save it for my sister Kate.”
“With fentanyl, I’m not sure one would even make it to their bed...”
Correct. Even more likely they won’t try to go there. The person over dosing on fentanyl is likely awake and delirious for quite a long way towards their death. With most other drugs / alcohol where you are unconscious before it is obvious you are going to die. Probably why George said “I can’t breath”.
