Possibly: Overdose is always a possibility when dealing with narcotics. Each person and their history are required to answer completely. If this person is chronically using large doses of narcotics then they will have a tolerance to these drugs and will require more than the average non narcotic using patient to experience respiratory depression and death. Narcotics are dangerous period.

You're right: To be concerned about your friend's welfare with large doses of narcotics present in her system. Do check with her medical team and/or er physicians.
