Dana, Shannon and her family are probably all right. Right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That too, which is just as true as the current president though I think Clinton has better independent merits.

Absolutely on both counts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are there categories of accidental overdose? I mean, when you're popping all of those it's not the same as forgetting when you last took tylenol and how much of it. Chances are slim those were all his legal prescriptions, for starters. And how can you tell a suicide mixing all those from an accident? Lack of note? Dinner reservations for the next day?

Coding and Sleeping

oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine

That's a scary sounding cocktail

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

That's a lot of cones and pams. I thought they only let you have one of each at a time!

Got any recipes for soup/stew?

I do chicken thighs in red wine (thick broth, potatoes, carrots), which are awesome but require red wine. It's also possible to roast the chicken, de-bone it, and use it in stone soup: onion, carrots, frozen peas, couple of bouillion cubes, some barley or rice, and shredded chicken in a big pot. I do honey-glazed chicken a lot, too, roasted in the oven, but just remember: tin foil is your friend (or else the sugar in the honey burns and your oven catches fire). Minestrone might be an avenue to investigate as well.

Our wings are not tired.

And how can you tell a suicide mixing all those from an accident?

The combination of being sick with pneumonia and dopey from any of these could result in accidental overdose. But, if the drugs weren't there...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Right. But maybe some checking of local newspapers is in order.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Depends on the dates of the scripts. If he was travelling a lot and seeing different doctors, it wouldn't have been difficult to get a prescription from a couple of different doctors--especially if they were in different countries. But you've got A LOT more experience with different doctors and drug prescriptions so I'll defer to your opinion.

I think people judge "accidental" by the person's behavior--and yeah, if they had plans or were behaving normally it would point to an accident, rather than suicide.

Suicides usually follow behavioral patterns--wrapping up unfinished business, cancelling appointments, etc.
