KNS also reports morphine was in his system and has more detailed quotes that were paraphrased in LAT.

Harvey said he didn't know what amount of controlled substances Renfro had ingested.

"The actual toxicology report is not in my possession," he said. "We anticipate the report being ready for release probably within the week. All I have is what's going to go on the death certificate."

Harvey speculated that Renfro's overdose could have occurred because the actor had not been using drugs in a while.

"Other people had told us that he was off of the injectables; he wasn't using anything injectable," said Harvey. "You have guys that … go to prison and they were IV drug users, and they're in prison for a period of time. Then they get out of prison, and the first thing they do is they'll score some drugs.

"They buy the same quantity or level of drugs that they were buying before they went into prison, and they use the same quantity or level they used and they'll end up overdosing immediately because their bodies detoxed while they were in prison. They don't take that into consideration.

"And I'm just wondering if he (Renfro) might have done essentially the same thing. He hadn't used it in so long, and when ultimately he did use it again he just simply used the same quantity he did before without thinking, not realizing his body no longer had the same tolerance to it as before."

The young actor had a difficult life. Addicts are not monsters. They are sons and daughters, mothers and fathers. They are veterans. They should be pitied not scorned. I'm apalled at the way so many people eat up news about celebrities like Renfro and Spears. They feed on the misery of others. Television has somehow made us all have a paparazzi mentality. Meanwhile Rome burns.

Brittney Spears is on her way to being next. I hope her parents can stop her. People shouldn't buy the celeb magazines that prey on her. I doubt many of Knoxviews readers do, but too many people do. Its a sahme about Brad. He seemed to have so much to offer. In Heath's case, I bet they were legally prescribed to him, Big Pharma is a whole other piece of the problem.
