By your title you have already decided that it was an overdose, contrary to the article which states that her cause of death has yet to be determined. By posting that she died of an overdose, you are including unsubstantiated information that will likely taint the opinion of those who reply to your post, especially if they only go by the snippet of information you provided and didn't read the article.

I almost responded before I read the article because I was assuming you were being truthful in you title. You were not and we will not know the cause of death util the autopsy. In the interest of truthful disclosure I think you should remove the OD reference from the title until all the facts have been disclosed.
