Said it was “accidental Drug overdose”....
Aren’t they all?
Carvey senior had some serious CV issues years ago. Back around 2000, IIRC. Before he was 40.
I was going to say, if someone has a drug addiction problem and ends up taking drugs and dies, how is it an accident? They also say the bathroom door was locked, so either we was trying to hide the fact from his girlfriend that he was taking drugs still, or he decided to end it. Either way, a sad end to a relatively young person.
No, if someone is consciously trying to kill themself, then it is not accidental.
Accidental drug overdose is when you take something accidently. To take drugs on the expectation of getting high isn’t an accident. You intended to take it.
Our society tolerates illegal drug use too readily. Addicts aren’t poor unfortunate victims who got Covid from shaking hands with wrong person. They are people who think the rules don’t apply to them.
“Aren’t they all?”
Yes, exactly. If it were not an accidentlal overdose it would be suicide.
There seems to be a lot of denial going on about drug use.
I remember a caller to a radio station saying her child had died “of overdose”, as if “overdose” was some specific medical condition, like appendicitis. It was a very peculiar statement to my ears.
Very sorry to hear this news. Love Dana Carvey, Church lady had it right!
A John Mayall tune referred to it as “accidental suicide”. An apt description.
If the drug is administered by someone else it’s murder.
