> Troper's autopsy found high concentrations of cocaine, amphetamine, alprazolam (Xanax),

What a strange mix.

The amphetamine is almost assuredly from the cocaine, so that just means they were doing coke and Xanax.

Xanax as a party drug is just strange in general.

Maybe it was the end of the night? People take benzos to calm down and/or sleep. And I guess some people to just feel like zombies

Depends on the half life and concentrations.

Daily adderal RX for ADHD or studying. Coke at night to party. Xanax at end of night to come down from the uppers and try to sleep. That mix is pretty common.
