Justin Townes Earle - Death Cause Revealed ... shitty deal ...

His team also shared the update on Facebook, writing "Next to alcohol and cocaine the autopsy report revealed traces of fentanyl indicating that that usage of fentanyl laced cocaine resulted in an overdose."

Apparently people are lacing cocaine with fentanyl now? And that is the theory of what killed him? Strikes me as unlikely, more like he did both coke and fentanyl (and alcohol was found in his system).

Lacing cocaine with fentanyl makes no sense from the standpoint of the dealer making the stuff. It's like 'hey, why don't I cut my speed ... with these ground up valiums?'. It's nonsensical.

Now, it's very possible he didn't know the opioids he was imbibing was actual fentanyl cause there's all kinds of pills and powders purporting to be OTHER opioids like heroin or oxy that are in fact mostly or all fentanyl (in terms of an active ingredient).

Anyways ... shitty deal, but not surprising unfortunately
