When somebody passes away because of an accidental drug overdose, there's complexity to how we process this. I know, at work, when I was explaining to people at work, I said he died of a heart attack. So if you think about addiction as being a health care issue. I want to say there's a choice in the matter, but I can't bring myself to say that, because nobody chooses to want this like we spoke about so many times.
