Morphine overdose?
Maybe, but don't expect the local corner to make such a finding.
I understand why people want to feel secure that "20 different doctors said it was hopeless, so it's all okay" - but speaking as one who has watched two relatives go through the process of having life support removed, and personally having gone through the process of arguing with medical staff to correct missteps in my own mother's medical care (who is now doing swimmingly well, thankfully), I have gained an appreciation for the fact that doctors suffer from many of the same foibles as the rest of humanity. Some are better than others, but all are human, and we would do well to remember this.

"20 different doctors said it was hopeless, so it's all okay"
And I wonder why so many seem to miss a basic question: Is it right for a government in collusion with medical doctors to kill someone - no matter how "rational" or "compassionate" it may seem?
