> The funny thing I've been reading the article and the tone of it reminded me of heroin addicts who was not hit by their addiction heavily yet.

Having known someone who was a responsible, highly educated adult with a fantastic career who died of a heroin overdose, this whole article sounded eerily familiar.

Do you know whether this person's overdose was due to an escalating addiction or due to mixing with other substances or impurities? That's the distinction the article is trying to make

It was due to an escalating addiction, not impurities.
