What about getting off meth? He did long ago have a history of using that but as far as we know nothing recent.

    Not sure about that, sorry. Some people struggle to stay sober (I'm one of them, which is why I use cannabis), and will search for something legal that will allow them a little escape. So it is possible. But I think it's much harder to die from just taking too large of a dose of meth than it is an opioid. Would prob be heart failure if the cause was meth. I'm honestly not sure what the LD50 for kratom is, but I think it's pretty high.

    I would try to confirm what the actual cause of death was (e.g. acute liver failure could be due to excess use of kratom [again not an expert], or they might find excessive meth or opioids in his system).

    Without that info, I'd hold out on making assumptions. It could have been unrelated.
