And mandatory drug testing may not have found him in advance as this could just as easily have been a first time use. If he keeled over in band, it sounds like he probably got them in school just before the class. Or perhaps a "friend" slipped him some in food or drink and he was not even aware of the fact that he had taken it.

It looks like you are assuming that he was an addict on the basis that he died of an overdose.

Nor will mandatory testing necessarily catch the "pushers". Some of them are not users themselves.
