It is being reported that Xanax, Lorazepam, and Valium, rather than cocaine, or other illegal drugs, were the culprits. Drugs which had been prescribed legally.

Not a surprise, really, since, according to the CDC, "By 2009, the number of deaths involving prescription drugs was four times the number involving illicit drugs."
