The episode 'A Deadly Dose' of 'Accident, Suicide, or Murder' season 3 revolves around the death of 29-year-old, Jessica Johnson. She was found dead in her apartment, surrounded by the medication bottles she regularly took for her depression. The initial assumption was that Jessica had taken an overdose of her medication, resulting in her death. However, the toxicology report revealed that the amount of medication in her system was significantly higher than her prescribed dosage.
The investigation reveals that the medication belonged to her friend, who had given her a few pills to get through a difficult week. The friend insists that she did not supply Jessica with a lethal dose and is devastated by the news of her friend's death. Further investigation reveals that Jessica had recently lost her job, and her relationship with her boyfriend was on the rocks.
The detectives uncover a series of messages between Jessica and her boyfriend, where she had expressed thoughts of self-harm and suicide. The boyfriend, however, insists that he had tried to talk to her and convince her to seek professional help. Jessica's therapist is brought in for questioning, and it is revealed that she had prescribed medication to Jessica but did not monitor her closely enough or recognize the severity of her mental state.
The case takes a dramatic turn when the detectives discover that Jessica had recently changed her beneficiary to her estranged sister, who had a history of financial troubles and had expressed interest in Jessica's life insurance policy. The detectives believe that her sister may have played a role in her death to collect the insurance money.
After months of investigation and interviews, the detectives finally have all the pieces to the puzzle. However, the ultimate question remains: was the overdose accidental, intentional suicide, or murder? The evidence points in multiple directions, leading to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.
Overall, 'A Deadly Dose' is a riveting and emotional episode that explores the complexities of mental illness, relationships, and the devastating consequences of not getting the help you need. The detectives' dedication to uncovering the truth and bringing justice to Jessica and her loved ones is commendable, and the episode leaves viewers questioning their own perceptions of life, death, and the human experience.
