Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, whose son died of an apparent
overdose in July, opened up about his death for the first time
today in an emotional news conference, hoping to use the tragedy
to raise awareness to the growing opioid epidemic in the U.S.

"I don't want to let his death define his life, but we have to
have a frank conversation about how he died," she said about her
son, 22-year-old Max Barry. She referred to his past struggles
with drugs and his treatment in a rehab program last summer.

In late July, after he died, Barry asked for privacy as she and
her husband face life "without his laughter and love."

Today, she addressed the issue directly, using her platform to
speak out about drug abuse in broader terms. Though she said her
son's autopsy was not yet complete, she referred to the
nationwide opioid crisis.

"I don't know what combination killed my son," she said, "but
drugs did it."

A record breaking 52,000 Americans died of overdoses in 2015,
according to a report by the Associated Press, a number that
they reported is expected to rise as come data is compiled.

Last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the
Justice Department will send 12 federal prosecutors to cities
battling addiction in an effort to crack down on the health care
fraud and opioid scams that they believe are fueling the
epidemic.

Barry, through her son's death and platform as a public figure,
helped to put a human face on the crisis.

"Our hearts will always be sad and empty because we can never
replace our child," Barry said.

She said that police came to her home at 3 a.m. to inform her
about her son's death and that she initially thought that an
officer died in the line of duty before they told her the news.

"If you see something, have a frank conversation yourself," she
said, advising parents who might be in a similar situation on
how to tackle the problem.
