The fact that it was heroin does that mean his family can’t collect insurance, even if they say it was an accident.
OH MY GODDDD!!!!!!!!

Of course there is such a thing as an accidental overdose!
People can take drugs that are prescribed to them and not exceed the stated dose (like Heath Ledger) and perhaps even think it’s ok to take other medications at the same time, again within their limits. But the combination and interaction of some drugs can be deadly, which is why people need to pay attention to the info sheet when it lists the drugs that should not be taken with a particular drug - and tell their doctor exactly which drugs they’re taking!
So an accidental overdose can be a mix of drugs taken innocently within their limits. Everyone’s body reacts differently, and tragically, it kills some.
In the case of Brad Renfro, I have my doubts. Ok, so they’re trying to claim he didn’t kill himself on purpose… but fact is, he died as a result of taking heroine. There’s nothing accidental about that.
For the idiots who don’t know who Brad is check http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000605/ . An excellent young actor best known for playing the kid in “The Client” with Susan Sarandon & Tommy Lee Jones. Excellent movie!)
Jason I know that there is such thing as acceidental overdose but if you take heroine or other **** like this you should be aware of the risk…I hope you get my point. :)
But I didn’t say there is no accidental overdose - of course there is…as you mentioned you can acceidentally overdose some prescribed medicine. That’s normal but let’s be honest heroine is no medicine and accidental just doesn’t fit in…I hope you get what I mean…my English isn’t perfect. ;)
And to those who don’t know him…why do you post a comment if you don’t even know him…srsly people you should check on the person before you post such ridiculous posts…writing posts like: I don’t even know this guy…so inappropriate….before you write please check some details…
RIP Brad
crack head , heroin, cocaine , meth, doesnt matter what drug you do they all make you a dope head! some of these rich white folks are dying from prescription pills and mixing alcohol and snorting coke and mixing all kinds of zanax, oxcicotin, and lord knows what else and the crackheads are still running around scatching and talking smack about the next hit of crack!
I still don’t know who he is. I know who Benazir Bhutto is. But you
never hear anything about her. She is alot more significant than
some drug addict. She was trying to make a real difference to the world.
RIP BENAZIR BHUTTO!!!
He was an actor - most famous for his role in The Client.

RIP Brad!!!!
Another junkie b*stard bites the dust. Good riddance.
Life is the greatest and most valuable gift a person has. I have no sympathy for those who are reckless with it and waste it.

RIP TO ALL :(
I was seriously bummed when heard this…I was hoping that he was going to get his act together. He was a very talented young actor and it’s a shame that this kind of thing keeps happening.
Omg, I remember him from Bully w/ Rachel Miner, Bijou Phillips and Nick Stahl!!! So sad, I really liked him:(
RIP BRAD.
all i have to say is that it is sad i loved Brad as a young star he was my first and really only serious celeb crush .. and i think some people should have respect for these kinds of people who find their lives so troublesome … as for some of those who question whether or not it was an accident until society accepts suicide and doesnt think it is disgusting and/or that the people who commit it are evil, ugly, etc the label ‘accident’ will be used .. i really dont think people should judge Brad for doing what he did (i know people will) but people forget that people are troubled out there even celebs (if not even more for them because celeb ‘accidents’ are quite frequent)
i have accidentally overdosed on pain killers and wound up sick for days so it is possible .. i know people who are druggies and just keep itching to get their fix and keep wanted more and more (it is sad when it interferes with being ‘friends’) … and i have considered suicide many times . i have tried to kill myself multiple times .. and i know people will think im a freak because of it .. and if that is what Brad wanted than it is for the best he is at rest and we will see him in the afterlife (if there really is any).. and the only problem is with society itself and people should be more respectful
i miss him so much i cried everyday :(
i love BRAD and the movies TART & BULLY he was such a great actor
