Kimber Michelle Brown died on February 12 this year after taking the over-the-counter cough medicine to treat flu-like symptoms.
She had been staying with her grandmother, Linda Sheets, 59, at her home near Durango, in Colorado, although it was not clear whether she was administered the drug or had taken it herself.
A post-mortem showed that Kimber had just over twice the recommended limit of dextromethorphan – an over-the-counter drug found in cough and cold suppressants.
In the hours before her death Kimber, whose father Mike Brown is an investigator with the local Sheriff's Office, complained of leg pain, cramps and muscle spasms – all complications associated with drug toxicity.
Common drugs like aspirin, Tylenol and benadryl will kill you if you take too much of them over time.
