text: legal advice? the love of my lfe passed away in may from a heroin overdose does anybody know how i can get the person who did this he died at his house? depending on what state you live in.  some states have laws that can hold someone responsible for manslaughter if they furnished the illegal drug to the "victim".  you will need to contact your local prosecutor and find out the law where you live and see if the crime was committed.  but, if your friend died just because he was using drugs and not something furnished to him by the other party, that party can't be held responsible just because he happened to die at his home.  sorry for your loss.
