Is this considered suicide?
Please be sensitive, this is regarding someone very close to me.

Recently I lost someone very close to me. He had a history of depression mental issues and heart problems. A week before he died, he broke his ankle slipping on ice. He was in a lot of pain and was already weak due to a heart problem. He said that none of the medicines he was taking were working on his pain. He told me he was going to take morphine for his pain, but i was worried about if interacting with his other meds but he told me not to worry.

Two months ago, he passed away, he was found in bed. At the time it was declared heart failure, but we still had to wait on the toxicology report. We finally got the results last week. He officially died of a morphine overdose. We discovered that he had not been prescribed morphine by any of his doctors or the hospital, so he must have obtained it from a friend. We don%26#039;t know.

Even if this was an accident, is it suicide?
Probably not. If he wanted to overdose intentionally, he could have just not told you about it.. after all, he was honest with you when he told you he was going to start taking morphine. Morphine is known to be an excellent pain killer and is very very addictive in a short span of time especially for how effective it is. It may just be that the pain was that unbearable that he decided to get it on his own and just went too far with it. If it was an accident, it certainly couldn%26#039;t be called suicide. Perhaps it%26#039;s best to try not to think of it in this direction?
