"intoxicatng levels" and the fact that its considerd a major factor in his death usually means overdose. Sadly, a college friend of mine died from the same thing. Call it what you want.

Anyone know what oxycodone is?
|
genaric for Percocet a narcotic analgesic, or pain killer. Can be addictive.

Unless somebody's changed the autopsy, this thread, especially the title, is extremely irresponsible.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2438741 Having Oxycon in his system at the time of death is not the same as announcing he died of a drug overdose. It may have been a contributing factor. If alcohol or tobacco residue was found in his system, they could also be called "contributing factors". |

And honestly, finding oxycodone in a football player is no more of a shock than finding a football player in pain. Brett Favre won a Super Bowl on Oxy's little cousin Hydro (Vicodin). |
