Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

My wife passed away and was ruled as an accident by the corner due to methadone toxicity. I have a whole life policy and an accidental death rider. there are 8 disqualifies for the rider and number 4 states sickness mental or physical, disease, medical treatment or surgery and number 6 states Voluntary taking drugs, unless prescribed by a duly lanced DR.

The ruling was that she died due to the methadone toxicity and was under a Dr.'s care and it was the prescription that killed her. Because line 6 stated about drugs I would think that it overrides numb 4 as a treatment it was not the counseling that killed her. do you have any idea if This death would be under line 6 or 4
