when doing an autopsy, how can they determine the cause of death to be an “accidental” overdose rather than a regular one?

Context clues.
Medical examiners don’t just do ‘the autopsy’, they conduct an entire medicolegal investigation.
In addition, the opposite of an ‘accidental’ overdose isn’t a ‘regular’ overdose. It’s either accidental or purposeful, i.e. suicidal overdose (and it is also possible to overdose and not die as well, but I am assuming OP is speaking about fatal overdoses).
