Hard for me to take the "legalities" out of it, but I feel the same way about it whether looked at from a legal or personal/moral perspective.
You sell illegal drugs to someone and they die from abusing those drugs (rather than because you cut the drugs with something fatal), you have to live with that knowledge and risk getting busted for dealing, distribution, etc.. But, you're not to blame for the OD death, IMO. The responsibility/blame for buying/using the drugs and the OD lies with the dead guy/girl.
