Show Notes
Emily Beutner, 22, daughter of former schools superintendent Austin Beutner, was found dead near a highway in Palmdale. The medical examiner ruled her death a suicide, attributing it to a combination of kratom, an herbal substance, and prescription medications. Kratom, which can act like an opioid at high doses, was found alongside quetiapine and mirtazapine. The county had recently banned kratom product sales due to six related deaths. Austin Beutner suspended his mayoral campaign following his daughters death. For crisis support, dial nine eight eight anytime.
