How do drug overdoses get classified as intentional or accidental?

1.05K views

This stems from a case happening in my home state. A woman* (in her mid twenties) was found buried in a shallow grave behind a home after leaving a bar with a man “with no force indicated”. The coroner ruled her death was an accidental overdose. How do they know it was accidental? Couldn’t this guy have given her these drugs? What’s the protocol for determining intentional or accidental overdoses?

Edit: changed young girl to woman

Probably depends on the drug and the amount in the system. If the person was a known user. Basically we’re they trying to kill them selves or just a user who used too much
