    Causation vs correlation.

    Fent being the causation and the method of death no matter what the circumstance is the correlation.

          Only way to get high from that is taking a syringe sucking out the stuff which is hard to do. Or if you keep one of the patches on for extended length. We put those on patients all the time and no one has had a reaction

        The article implies the officer had fentanyl in his system according to the medical examiner. It is a mystery how it was in his system.

        On Monday, one piece of the puzzle was revealed — his cause of death was ruled an accident due to the effects of fentanyl, according to the L.A. County medical examiner.

        Then the article goes on to explain that no, you cannot absorb fent through skin contact. It’s still a mystery as to how the officer had fent in his system. I know you can’t absorb fent through the skin. We weren’t there, no witnesses can confirm or deny how the officer came into ingesting fentanyl. The moral of my comment is valid.

        As for my statement, based on the medical examiner, I am arguing that the causation was fentanyl and the correlation was death by swerving his car into a tree.

          Its not really a mystery. He voluntarily took drugs that happened to have fentanyl in them. The flowery language in the article is there to cover for the cop. Do you think any other DUI crash death gets reported as “an accident?”

          He probably just did fentanyl, and his buddies are trying to cover it up + use his death for propaganda.

          He did fentanyl. It’s not a mystery.

          Unless there’s something specific about the skin of cops that allows them to defy science and absorb it.

            I’M NOT ARGUING THAT. I don’t care how the dirty cop ingested fentanyl. I replied to the original comment of someone saying he died by swerving his car into a tree. While the statement is true, I used the article (verbatim) to base the fact that fentanyl was a causation, that is all. Whether the cop swallowed a pill or not does not matter to me.
