The person who gave the vicodin may be liable. The doctor who prescribed the vicodin under certain circumstances may also be liable.

I am sorry that you lost your friend. Depending on the circumstances, your other friend could be liable for not only civil damages but criminal charges. In these types of situations where a death is involved a criminal investigation of some sort must be pending. Again, depending on the circumstances, you friend who gave the vicodin away may face some serious problems. I would recommend all involved find legal representation.
