Not what the actual professionals and experts said, nor is his behaviour leading up to his death consistent with a fatal overdose of opioids. An amount of drugs can be fatal in one person, and barely effective in another. This is especially true with opioids.
Dude, the guy was OD'img. Yes, the cop shouldn't have done what he did, but that scumbag, who was not a hero or a martyr, was a dead man walking already.
The county coroner wrote that he had
at least 11ng/ml of fentanyl in his blood: The lethal dose is 10--20/ng/ml
without other substances being present, which there
were in his blood-stream in
abundance.
For a hardened career criminal, scumbag, and drug-addict, could he have survived if it were just the fentanyl? Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if he were able to have survived -- but that's still a
high and near-lethal dose. Drug-tolerance can only go so far with these types of narcotics.
The presence of
other drugs meant that he had no chance: The guy would have offed himself if he took a shit on the crapper instead of trying to add another tally to his criminal record.
