Umm, Motley, please help me with this, if a person not licensed to administer medicine had put the prescription medicine into Christian's mouth and Christian had still died, wouldn't said person be liable for his death?  

While it is unfortunate that Christian died, it appears his death is a result of choices he made before and after his arrest.

If the family was so concerned about his welfare, where were they when he was released from the hospital and he had a ten mile distance from the hospital to his home?  I am sorry, but this family is way overreaching on putting blame on others than where it belongs.
