Olivia Flowers Opens Up About Brother Conner's Fatal Fentanyl Overdose
Olivia Flowers, star of Southern Charm, has revealed that her brother, Conner Flowers, died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl. Conner had been prescribed opioids to treat chronic pain caused by his battle with Lyme disease. Despite seeking help from medical professionals, Conner was repeatedly told that his symptoms were "all in his head" and was given painkillers and anxiety medication instead. This led to a dependence on prescription medicine, and Conner eventually became addicted. Although he had recently been clean, Conner had a fatal relapse. Olivia emphasizes that her brother's drug use was not for partying but rather a means to survive. She believes that there are gaps in the healthcare system that contributed to his tragic death.
