On Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Death

Over at LewRockwell, Laurence Vance observes that the drug war is a war on personal responsibility:

I have read in several places that the man who sold Hoffman the drugs should be found and prosecuted. This is ludicrous. Hoffman was successful, famous, and rich–things that many Americans would kill for. Yet, his personal demons were greater than these things. He is the one responsible for his death and his children now being without a father.

Has there been a determination yet that the heroin was mixed (e.g., laced with fentanil) ?

    “Samples taken from Hoffman’s Manhattan apartment didn’t contain the potent synthetic morphine, which is added to intensify the high and has been linked to 22 suspected overdose deaths in western Pennsylvania” but there’s “no timetable for Hoffman’s autopsy to be finished, said medical examiner’s office spokeswoman Julie Bolcer”.
