RIP KATHY HYATT (September 15, 1944 – February 27, 2005)

This case was ruled an accident instead of a natural death (heart disease) likely because it was the Doxepin use that precipitated the death.

Doxepin is a medication belonging to the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) class of drugs used to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, chronic hives, and insomnia.
