Both gone too soon.

I almost died from a toxic reaction to painkillers - a common OTC drug known as ibuprofen!! It was not an overdose - I hardly ever used the stuff, but it happened.

Basically an overdose of painkillers. These drugs really are dangerous if used incorrectly. Doctors should be required to do blood testing on occassion to check the levels of these drugs in the body. Such a sad story.

I think the key word there is used incorrectly. There's no reason to mandate such testing, especially when such deaths are rare and likely caused by drug abuse.

I think the better thing would be to use the drugs as prescribed.
