The preliminary cause of death appears to be an accidental overdose of fentanyl, an opiate many times more powerful than heroin, said Montgomery County Coroner’s Office Director, Ken Betz.
A final determination on the cause and manner of the couple’s death will take six weeks until toxicology reports are completed, Betz added.
Drug paraphernalia was found inside the home, Centerville police said.A final determination on the cause and manner of the couple’s death will take six weeks until toxicology reports are completed, said Betz.
Halye’s mother, Nancy Casey, told NBC News, that her daughter was a Type 1 diabetic, being treated for depression and had been prescribed medication.
But Casey, 51, does not believe the Halyes were dependent on drugs.
Casey said she had a “dreadful feeling” after she spoke with her daughter earlier that day.
‘Something was off with her and something was off with him,’ she said.
Casey described her daughter as being well-liked and “a light in the room”.
‘I don’t know if they decided they were going to party or went and they got a hold of this bad stuff going around town,’ Casey said.

Since January, Montgomery County has had 165 accidental drug overdoses, with heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil being the current fatal mix of drugs most seen by Betz.
