Is Excessive Snorting Of Roxicodone Harmful?

A friend of mine just passed away. The EMT said that it was probably a bleed out that caused her death. She was a drug addict and had been snorting roxycodien for the past 8yrs. Will a drug like this eat your stomach lining out or do you think it was a drug overdose?
