I had a relative die this way and my family said he literally still had needle in his arm, I have heard this in other overdose stories as well. What happens that causes them to die so instantly?
In: Biology
An intravenous injection in the arm only takes a few seconds to reach the brain, which is where the drug works. This won’t kill someone instantly, but a large enough dose will make them lose consciousness rapidly, and at some point after that, they might stop breathing or aspirate vomit or something like that.
