Deaths of Intractable Pain Patients Often Mistaken as Overdoses — Pain News Network
"Unexpected and sudden death commonly occur in persons who have poorly controlled pain caused by Intractable Pain Syndrome (IPS). Many persons with IPS who have died unexpectedly have been falsely accused of an “overdose” because drugs were found in their body fluids at autopsy. In reality, the cause was almost always cardiac arrest, hypoglycemia or adrenal failure."
