In my opinion, an overdose generally suggests an intention to kill oneself. The term overdose is a kinder way of saying "committed suicide".
After reading his bio, it doesn't surprise me, so I would have to agree..... Nick Drake committed suicide.

Nicholas Rodney Drake (June 19, 1948 – November 25, 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician best known for his acoustic, autumnal songs. Drake's primary instrument was the guitar, but he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, and saxophone. Though he failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime,[2] Drake's work has since grown steadily in stature,[3] to the extent that he is now widely considered one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the last 50 years.[4][5][6]
Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old, and released his debut album Five Leaves Left in 1969. By 1972 he had recorded a further two albums. However, none sold more than 5,000 copies during their first release,[2] and his reluctance to perform live[3] or to be interviewed contributed to his lack of commercial success.
Drake battled with depression, insomnia and acute shyness throughout his life,[7] and the topics would often appear as the subject of his lyrics. Upon completion of his third album, 1972's Pink Moon, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. On November 25, 1974, Nick Drake died from an overdose of antidepressants, at the age of 26.

I think Gabrielle wants to think so, but I don't think so, there is some twist there.
