Sorry to be so heartless but I feel no grief or sympathy when someone famous has taken their own life through narcotic overdose. It's not like accidental with pain pills.

That makes absolutely no sense what so ever. The difference in route of administration makes one overdose accidental while the other is not? I'd even argue that the INVERSE of your contention is true. It is more likely that an intravenous overdose is accidental, while an overdose due to PO narcotic pain pills is far more unlikely to be an accident, as the dose would have to be much larger than what the person normally ingests, and the onset is at least 20 minutes, whilst someone injecting an unknown dosage intravenously has about an 8 second lead time before they know that their dose is going to cause respiratory arrest, and the majority are probably never aware that they have overdosed....
