Dying from a fentanyl overdose is irrelevant?

I think you should call your sponsor. Drinking this early in the day is not a good thing.

Assuming facts not in evidence.

As the lawyers say.

What are the pharmacokinetics of the markers used to measure fentanyl in the body?

Do they change after death, or are there any decomposition by-products which interfere with the assay post mortem?

What is the sensitivity analysis of the methods used to detect fentanyl or its metabolic by-products (by analogy, merely having Covid-19 RNA in your system does not by itself prove you've ever been contagious)?

What is not just the LD-50 for fentanyl, but the distribution of LD-50 in the population as a function of body weight?

All these have a bearing on the chances that the fentanyl "caused" his death.

My god this is like shooting fish in a barrel.
