His death was ruled an accidental overdose. Friends say he was targeted

But Schwede’s courage may have been a threat to powerful drug dealers, friend Millie Modeste told the Star. On the west side of the country, where overdose deaths have more than doubled in the past three years, Schwede’s Victoria death is raising questions too. But the three looked like they were having a good time, Thibault said, so he told Schwede to “stay safe” and said goodnight. Victoria Police also told Schwede’s family that no money or drugs were found. Does anyone care?”Constable Eddy and Victoria Police spokespeople would not comment on Schwede’s death.
