Limestone woman who died after cosmetic surgery overdosed on methadone

ATHENS, Al.
Authorities say an autopsy report shows that a north Alabama woman who died after cosmetic surgery on her lips suffered from a painkiller overdose.
Limestone County officials said that 57-year-old Janet Green died of acute methadone intoxication.
Sheriff Mike Blakely says Green had cosmetic surgery on her lips the day of her death in August. However, Chief Investigator Stanley McNutt says methadone wouldn’t have been prescribed for the surgery.
Investigators initially considered the possibility Green’s death was a homicide. She was going through a divorce at the time.
However, Blakely says examinations found no sign of injury. Officials say the woman’s death was accidental, and the case is closed.
Green says it’s still unclear why Green took methadone.
