"Complications from overheating, often alongside heavy alcohol consumption, is the most common cause of death. However, drinking too much water in an attempt to stay 'safe' is more dangerous. Some, often inexperienced, users have died after drinking as much water as they physically could. In one reported case, a user died after drinking 26 pints of water in a short space of time. The excess water causes the brain to swell inside the skull, which puts pressure on the brain stem and leads to coma and death.
Deaths involving contaminants are rare but do happen, as do deaths involving drugs cocktails (ecstasy and DXM, and ecstasy, cocaine and Viagra are the current dangerous mixes). "

It's tough to say because there are so many different variables. You never know what's in the pills....lets say they are cut with either speed, DXM, coke, or heroin......You pop a few pills, have a few beers, drink a few red bulls......right there you are mixing three, four, maybe five toxins that could very well kill you when combined together. I'm sure this wasn't the first time this poor kid has done it. I don't care how experienced you are or how sure you know exactly what you're taking, the point is when you decide to do it, you're talking a risk....it might be a small risk but in cases like this is makes you put things in perspective. |
Couldn't of been said any better.. there are so many different reasons for bad stuff to happen... it isn't like how it was 10 years ago where pure mdma was predominately what was sold. I know it's also possibly due to his heart complications, but those little pills are only getting more dangerous, not safer.
Watching what went down with that kid is sad... i hope i never have to experience that like the first time i did at SF.
