From an e-mail: Jillian was my best friend of 15 years. She had battled substance abuse on and off for years. I don't have access to the death certificate so I'm not sure if her OD was listed as intentional or not. None of us that knew her believe it was intentional but I'm not sure what other evidence the ME may have found.
