Police: Death of JMU student in February due to 'poppy tea'

UPDATE (Nov. 30):

Months after the death of Steven Austin Underhill at a JMU fraternity house, Harrisonburg police have confirmed that he died accidentally from an overdose of opioids.

According to the toxicology report, which took time to process, Underhill had a high dosage of opioids in his system that came from 'poppy

tea.'

Following Underhill's death in February, the Harrisonburg Police Department warned the public about poppy tea, which is made from commonly available household products, including poppy seeds.
