Edit request created for an interested person (VRT Ticket 2024062410000078)[edit]

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Jarred Rome. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is moderate. Please be patient. There are currently 148 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

What I think should be changed:

This request is created on behalf of the article subject's mother, Jane Blackwell, who indicates she is unable to navigate Wikipedia to place the request here. (See VRT Ticket 2024062410000078 ).

The use of the term "overdose" in the article should be changed to "poisoning."

Why it should be changed:

Nothing in the sources cited, such as [1], indicate that the article subject was a drug user. The news report cited states that it was unknown how the drug was consumed or administered, and further mentions a heart condition as contributing to the death. There is a move to change the use of the terms "overdose" to "poisoning" generally, as can be seen here: Is the fentanyl situation an overdose crisis or a poisoning crisis?
