Messed up world today, and at some point in the day weeks or years ahead, that coroner’s info gets out to the media/public, or worse, to someone who tries to shake down the family. Regardless, then the family has to deal with it all again in a public space and then explain why they covered it up originally etc.

The information has been out there for a bit, so I think local media wasn't interested in throwing one of their former colleagues under the bus in his passing.
Fentanyl isn't just a DTES problem and I am glad that they have have released this info because it helps highlight that. The real issue is, that a casual drug user will have no idea, and OD very quickly. That's the case that happened here with Botchford. People, even experienced drug users, need to be incredibly careful right now.
