The hot man injects Bernie with drugs to kill him and make it look like an overdose. Also, when Bernie went into th bathroom at the office, was gone a bit and came out, it isn't clear to the two main characters what he was doing, but the audience I think is led to believe he may have been sniffing coke. A party goer comes up to him to get "something he has for her", which is a baggie of drugs, probably coke.

A character is sexually harassed by multiple men at a party. Bernie, the titular dead guy, is sexually assaulted by his girlfriend both when he's alive and post-mortem. In the beginning of the film his girlfriend gropes him, and when he's dead she sleeps with him.

Even without the girlfriend knowing she was sleeping with a dead body, she had sex with a seemingly unconscious man without his consent which is enough reason for concern.
