    I wonder if the side effects of Carrie Fisher’s prescribed medications
    and perhaps the drugs and alcohol she self-medicated with
    contributed to her death at the relatively young age of 60.

    Definitely, in some way.

    Despite claims she was "better" now, all her recent interviews still
    reeked of her being "on" something.

    You would have to check her medical records. If she ate something
    privately without telling her doctor(s), then it's up to the coroner.

    Given her history of mental health issued, it'd be very surprsing if
    she were *not* on prescription meds of some kind. Biploar, IIRC, most
    of her adult life.
