The death of Amanda Peterson, best known for her role in the 1987 romantic comedy "Can't Buy Me Love," was the result of an accidental morphine overdose.
The autopsy and toxicology report released Wednesday by the Weld County Coroner's Office concluded that Peterson, 43, ingested a friend's morphine medication for unspecified pain a week before her death, The Greeley Tribune reports.
Apparently, she had a history of drug use and her mother said she had been "clean" for a while.
Apparently not.

One link I found had her mug shots from multiple DUI arrests. Very disturbing and sad.

She was a good girl
Between October 2000 and May 2012, Peterson was arrested five times for various offenses including third-degree assault, harassment, DUI, and possession of drug paraphernalia and suspicion of distributing a Schedule 2 controlled substance. From September to December 2005, she spent nearly three months in jail.[21] Peterson's most recent arrests were for a misdemeanor DUI and possession of narcotic equipment charge in April 2012, and a charge of suspicion of child abuse in May 2012 which was later dropped According to Peterson's father, his daughter had previously struggled with drug issues, but was drug free at the time of her death and had become "quite religious". He also stated that, in recent years, Peterson had suffered from sleep apnea and bouts of pneumonia and sinusitis. For the last three years of her life, Peterson was receiving disability benefits and lived alone in an apartment in Greeley after her second divorce.

That is very sad. Drug use never has a good ending.
