qtessone asked:


I was reading an official death certificate today and saw that the official cause of death was Ethanol, prescribed Fentanyl, and Nonprescribed Morphine. I know all about the Fentanyl and the Morphine, but am not totally sure what the Ethanol means. Could this be that the individual was drinking alcohol or that he was huffing gas? Does anyone know what this means?

   It most likely means they have been drinking alcoholic drinks. Ethanol is the chemical name for alcohol.

   Considering that “Ethanol” is the medical term for alcohol. He/She probably died from alcohol poisoning.
