Question:

I know someone who sadly passed away by overdosing on sleep medication and alcohol; did they feel much pain?

I know it's a tragic question, but were their last moments peaceful, through sleep or full of pain?


Answers:

I'm very sorry for your loss! I know exactly how you feel wondering about this because an aunt of mine died that way and I wondered. The doctor told us that with the alcohol and sleeping pills in her system it was impossible she felt anything because it would have been impossible for her to have woke enough to feel anything, and passed in her sleep. I don't know what the situation is where you are but you could maybe ask the doctor like I did. Again, very sorry to hear about this.

*edited to add this bit:

In the case of my aunt it was determined to be an accidental death and not suicide. Some meds should never be mixed with alcohol and it doesn't take large amounts of either to do this to a person. Just because someone dies from mixing alcohol with meds don't judge it as suicide unless you KNOW for sure it was.
