Correct.
OP is asking the wrong question. Based on what day provided it seems in line with an overdose, especially with the other drugs involved, unless the person was a known addict.
From a tox report you only have a snapshot at the one particular time point. You need multiple time points to even potentially guess the starting dose along with an extensive patient history.
