Can I be charged with a crime for selling drugs to a person who overdoses in Massachusetts?

Maybe. There are wrongful death statutes that govern this. A good lawyer will inspect medical records and autopsy reports and if it is more likely than not that the drugs you sold caused the person to die, yes, you could potentially be her responsible for the death and owe substantial compensation.
