Based on what I'm reading, the problem was he wasn't administered benzodiazapines for the withdrawal symptoms. This combined with alcohol induced organ damage were contributing factors.

I feel as though most doctors would have been reluctant to prescribe a sedative. The more liberal they are with prescribing sedatives, the more likely their practice is to be overwhelmed with drug addicts.

...it will be interesting to see how this plays out in court.
