What factors account for the majority of deaths associated with heroin use?

As a result AIDS and other infectious agents are most common causes of death. Also, interactions between heroin and other drugs, e.g., alcohol, cocaine, can also cause death. Sometimes, adulterants mixed with heroin are implicated in heroin deaths.
