a friend of mine's daughter died and in the toxicology reports indicate in the girl's body enough cocaine to kill a grown man, GHB in the system and 'possible' chloroform. So I was wondering if mixing these two drugs might produce traces of chloroform in the system.

Cocaine and GHB as bought are messy concoctions of different chemicals, so it is possible that chemicals from the two combined in some way to form Chloroform.
It seems more likely that the chloroform was an additive or contaminant of the GHB. GHB is a common date-rape drug- hence it may have been 'enhanced' with chloroform.
Or even more likely it could have been manufactured in the same facility, and mixing of equipment between the GHB and Chloroform products resulted in contamination.
It sounds like a very tragic incident to happen to both of you so I hope you are, or at least will be ok.

The 2 substances mentioned will not react to give chloroform. In illegal drugs, chloroform could be a possible contaminant since nobody checks.
This is very tragic. I hope that everything works out.
