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

It’s not the only factor consider, but usually intentional OD’s are obvious in that the dosage is “overkill”.
Accidents tend to be more marginal.
