After months of speculation, a medical examiner has ruled that Tom Petty died of an accidental overdose, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The Hall of Fame musician had taken several pain medications, including Fentanyl, oxycodone and generic Xanax. Other medications included generic Restoril (a sleep aid) and generic Celexa (which treats depression).

He looked at all those drugs and was not intimidated, he didn't back down.

Petty's family said they hope the musician's death leads to a broader understanding of the opioid crisis. "As a family, we recognize this report may spark a further discussion on the opioid crisis and we feel that it is a healthy and necessary discussion and we hope in some way this report can save lives," they wrote. "Many people who overdose begin with a legitimate injury or simply do not understand the potency and deadly nature of these medications."

somehow I think that if he was feeling magnificent he would not have pumped his body full of narcotic poison

Had fractured hip before his last tour along with emphysema, but performed any way.
The definition of not backing down

All the rest of the shot would probably be OK. The fenatnyl is no doubt what killed him.
