How long does it take to die from a heroin overdose?
My ex husband just passed away this past week and I'm confused. He went out with his brother which is when he did the drug than came home, ate supper, got really sweaty and said he was tired. He went to bed around 11pm. She sleep in a really deep sleep all night. He was breathing the next morning and still had color before his roommate left for school 8 am . He checked on him before he left The roommate forgot something at home and came back about 10 minutes later and my ex's brother said he called 911 because he wasn't breathing. When the roommate went in to do CPR my ex was now a bluish color and still in the same spot he was when the roommate left 10 minutes earlier.

Has anyone ever survived a heroin overdose?
Someone I know took heroin to relieve a tooth ache which I don't know why in the world they would do that. He ended up in the hospital for an overdose and he like stopped breathing and they had to revive him 3 times, and on top of that he had a heart attack bc he wasn't breathing. He is a major drug addict and has been for 10 years now but doesn't want help. I am guessing hes pretty lucky bc you would think someone wouldn't make it through something like that. What happens if he starts drinking or smoking again since he had a overdose and heart attack? Is there any way a family member or friend can get him into rehab or does he have to go if he only wants too? I don't see him stop being a drug addict even though the doctors told him he cant drink or smoke, but hes been doing it behind peoples backs now for a couple years, so whats gonna make him stop I really want him to get help Also can heroin, weed, coke, and etc make you depressed and want to commit suicide, and have anxiety?

My brother passed away on New Years Eve. My brother was in and out of their lives so the fact that they have not seen him in 8 months is not a big difference than when he was alive. I keep preparing myself to tell them and then I stop myself because I don't know what to say was the reason he died. They saw a video of him today and asked where he is. If anyone has had this type of situation and would like to share what they did, I would be very grateful.
