In most states, hospices have little control over the pills after a patient dies. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration encourages hospice staff to help families destroy leftover medications, but the agency forbids those staff members from destroying the meds themselves unless that is allowed by state law. Leftover pills belong to the family, which has no legal obligation to destroy them or give them up Bailey, M. (2017, August 21). Dying at home in pain doesn t keep relatives from stealing the pills.
