Two weeks ago my boyfriend passed away while in hospital for his Diverticulitis. He was given Morphine at 5pm and then 1 mg of Dilaudid at 8:20pm another 1mg at 9:20 then two more mg's at 11:30pm. Is that to close? Is that to much. His heart rate was at 128 bpm, he was ice cold to the touch. Heavy rasping breathing. Urine was almost black in color. Can you tell did the pain killer make things worse. Also, another question How do you know when dye that is used from testing leaves your system? If it does not how long to they have to remove it before it becomes deadly as it obviously killed him.

They are commonly used like this, the Morphine wasn't helping enough, so they switched to Dilaudid, which is also used in even higher doses.
My guess is he probably died from something related to his condition. What did they list as his cause of death?
Ive been taking these for 41/2/years and now my druggist says the company doesnt make them any more so she gave me MS ER15mg for 2x a day. I feel sick every day and they take about 2hours to work. Any suggestions??
the black urine sounds like a symtom , that users of hyroxicut had, they recalled that recently because it was causing liver damage, did your boyfreind comsume any of this, it would been a supplement sold OTC
Mixing the 2 pain killers is not bad they are the same type(opioid) with the same basic main ingredient so it is highly likely that the pain killers had nothing to do with his death.
