Man Fatally Overdoses at Clean Drug Test Party

Polk County, Florida: There are ways to celebrate testing clean at your court-ordered drug test: a champagne toast, a cup of herbal tea, a few moments of reflection on the fact that you avoided court-ordered prison; and then there is the Michael Edwin Berg way.

According to The Florida Times, on September 4, 2009, the 23-year-old Berg, opted for a night of beer and vodka with the guys and then toasted his freedom from chemical dependence by drinking a shot of morphine. Thirteen hours later, he was dead.

A friend of Berg’s, Daniel Aleman, admitted to giving him the drug – prompting police to charge the 23-year-old with third-degree murder.
