I'd definitely put some responsibility on the building owners. The basement in the Michaels building connects to a number of other areas.

If they did go through Michael's to get to the basement, then there's definitely a responsibility of the establishment. You can't have random people walking into the basement if it's employees only. I haven't been in that basement in 20-odd years but when I was it was the dishwasher and the keg cooler but I assume it hasn't been built out to be a functional part of the establishment.

As someone who was a drug addict for a long time there’s no fucking way on earth it should be blamed on the owners, imagine you work your whole life to build up your business and some scumbag drug addict takes his buddies up there with some overloaded dope and dies and you get blamed for it.

Not blaming the owners for the overdoses, but you can't go unscathed for having non-employees walking around employee-only areas and beyond.
