34,240mgs of acetaminpehn(tylenol) + 8.75mg of chlorpheninamine maleate(sometime in a flu medicine) + 60mg of dextromethorpahn HBr(sometime else in flu medicine) + 125mg of diphenhydramin HCI + a 355ml bottle of 3.2% alcohal. I'm doing a report on this guy who died while he was high. This part is just telling about how this alone would have killed him, and how not using drugs could have saved him from this.

Let us have a look at each of what he took..
He took an extremely lethal dose of Tylenol. 12 grams of it is considered as lethal dose,that means the Tylenol dosage he took (34.24 mg ) is almost three times the considerable lethal dose. That would be sufficient enough to kill him. The alcohol could have also taken little part to aggravate the liver damage incurred by acetaminophen poisoning.
The diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) he took is a little bit more than the recommended dose of 50-100 mg.(Diphenhydramine is usually used for recreational purposes to get "high" by taking high dosages at 150 -225 mg).
The chlorpheninamine is within a normal dose however it is also an antihistamine which has a sedating effect just like the diphenhydramine.
The dextromethorphan is just within the normal dose however it may also had contributed to aggravate the sedative effects of both the Diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine.
The overall central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting from the antihistaminic effects and its interaction with dextromethorphan could have been worsened by the exaggerating and sedating effects of alcohol as well.
The combined effects of Diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine,dextromethorphan, and alcohol could had made him "high" initially.
Now, which caused his death? If he died that instantly after getting "high", the most probable cause of death is due to the effects of CNS depression which could had caused a respiratory failure. Though the acetaminophen poisoning is extreme, it could probably take a day to cause death except if he already had an existing damaged liver before overdosing.
Lastly, with everything that he took at once....it is a very clear SUICIDE!

Similar way Anna Nicole's autopsy revealed. It wasn't the cocktail that killed her it was a barbituate like drug" the same that killed Marilyn Monroe" in an unusually high dose. I think you might get good research from her autopsy report because the conditions are so similar.

If that's what he took, he clearly wasn't trying to get high. He was trying to commit suicide. Most of those drugs do not produce any sort of buzz, but do significant damage to the body.

He took enough tylenol alone to kill a couple of people.
