Question by : What is an “accidental overdose of prescription drugs”?
With all the autopsy reports that are published following celebrity deaths none has ever been released for comedian Greg Giraldo. Granted he was not very famous, having done just a few celebrity roasts on Cmedy Central. Nevertheless he was a sort of celebrity. When he died in September, 2010 in New Jersey, the media stated he died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. It was mentioned again and again that it was NOT a suicide attempt. Since Giraldo was discovered unconscipous and died five days later, never regaining consciousness, it seems like it could have been an attempt to hide a sucide to save embarrassment or other reasons.
