The death of a 31-year man from an ecstasy overdose has prompted a coroner to warn of the risks to life associated with the substance.
After returning a verdict of misadventure in Castlebar at an inquest into the death of Adrian Nealon, with an address at The Kiln, James Street, Westport, the coroner, John O’Dwyer, made reference to the recent deaths of two young men in Co Cork.
“It is unfortunate that people continue to take serious risks with their own safety and their own lives,” said Mr O’Dwyer. “It is incumbent on people to be acutely aware of the dangers posed by drugs which are being offered them”.
The cause of Mr Nealon’s death on March 1st last was given by pathologist Dr Tamas Nemeth as an MDMA (ecstasy) overdose.
