Death By Methadone Injection

My son was on oral methadone for 3 years. He got arrested and was in rehab for 5 weeks. During that time he detoxed from the methadone. When he got out he was clean for a year then one morning his son found him dead. Wife said it was a methadone overdose and they wrote it off as suicide. There was no drug paraphernalia at the scene and none in his stomach. Just what he had for supper. No stomach flush was done on him. I have researched this for four years and am currently trying to get murder charges pressed against two people that have admitted to others they did it. There were no other drugs in his body and from what I have read and researched being injected with the amount he was on and detoxed from would have killed him. The Pathologist said he wouldn't have time to even remove the needle. Is this true. I know he did not kill himself and police won't even look at the autopsy report. My research suggests that the levels of methadone in his blood would very easily have killed him. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm an addict and have been on methadone for 23yrs. Nobody has suggested coming of my 40mg daily dose. Is there a way of coming off it pain free? I'd rather die than go cold turkey.

How much was he taking? I took it for a long time. I was on a daily dose of 120 mgs and I was administering about 200mgs at once and I'm a small man, but I don't have a very high tolerance either.
