Nex actually was the first to commit an assault, by throwing water on some girls that in all likelihood totally deserved it.
It does appear to be a suicide by intentional overdose of two prescription medications. It seems overwhelmingly likely that the fight/beating contributed, but that doesn't amount to murder.
Neither Benadryl nor Prozac are known to be fatal. The levels found in Nex's system were not elevated. There are no known conflicts with the drugs. Please stop spreading these conservative lies to cover another murder by conservatives.
I know someone who OD'd on Benadryl, ended up in a medically induced coma, and barely survived. People most definitely die from Benadryl overdoses. It is in the top 15 of drug overdose deaths. That article also explains that Benadryl is known to be used for intentional drug overdoses.
I'm not discounting your idea that conservatives are lying and trying to cover up some of the facts about this case, and I am most certainly hoping for some sort of justice for Nex, but this part of your comment is just straight up misinformation.
Do you somehow have a source on the levels found in their system? That could absolutely make a difference in your claims, but the autopsy report hasn't been released, yet, so idk where you are getting that.
A quick search turned up legitimate sources for both Benadryl and Prozac overdoses being potentially fatal, as well as a list of serious interactions. Fatal dosages are generally not available for combinations of different drugs but, generally speaking, interactions make overdoses far more likely.
Short of any credible counter information, the coroner's report is the appropriate (and only) legitimate source.
I am firmly against the right on these issues, but not to the point where I will start chasing conspiracy theories like they do.
