Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It was possibly a heart attack that caused him to drown, which wouldn't be much of a shock considering his painkiller abuse, known to cause heart problems. No drugs or alcohol on site, but it's not like his addictions didn't leave a lasting impact.

Oh man, really? Then what killed my mom?
Also, go get your heart checked out, bud.
Maybe he is not from the US, like me. Outside the US people don't immediately think of opioids when someone says painkiller. They are not prescribed nearly as much. Maybe not at all where I am from.
What a stupid response. I don’t know your mom. How long did your mom abuse painkillers? What are the dosages and frequencies she took them at? Did she ever get clean and if so how long had she been abusing them and how long had she been clean? Was she a polysubstance abuser? Did your mom have any cardiac conditions of note? Did she take any medications? Familial history? You see what im getting at with how dumb your response was? I did get my heart checked out and I got my heart rate up to 138 and ran 15 minutes longer than I needed to and the cardiologist/lipidologist told me in his career of over 40 years I’m only the second time he’s ever seen someone’s heart not skip a single beat. I could still go the way of Matthew Perry/your mom. You never know. Pain killer abuse varies a fuck ton. So many other things come into play when we’re talking heart attacks.
