Yikes.

She found her husband on their bed in a pool of his own vomit, dead from an
accidental overdose of drugs he received from an online pharmacy.

 Every night before her husband went to bed, he would open a prescription
bottle of the muscle relaxant Soma and swallow the eight or nine pills it
took for him to fall asleep, said the woman. She spoke to CNN on condition
of anonymity because she wants to protect her husband's identity and not
embarrass his family.

The drugs arrived at their doorstep every week. She thought they were being
prescribed by a treating physician. Her husband had been in a car accident
and suffered back pain, and Soma was the one drug that could relieve the
aches.

She was wrong. The drugs were purchased online without a doctor's visit.
She says that her husband had become an addict -- and that the Internet
sites that sold him the drugs were his pushers.
