What is the reason for the death of a 52-year-old after visiting a restaurant in Weiden? Several people showed signs of poisoning, the police are investigating.
Weiden – A 52-year-old died in Weiden in der Oberpfalz* after consuming a drink in a restaurant.* Several other people showed symptoms of poisoning. As the picture wants to know, it is a 3-liter champagne bottle that is said to have been mixed with the party drug ecstasy.
Man dies when visiting a restaurant in Weiden: Ecstasy in champagne?
As the image claims to have learned from police circles, an analysis showed that there was a large amount of MDMA, i.e. ecstasy, in the champagne. But how did the drug get into the drink? The bottle is said to have been bought just one day before the accident. According to the newspaper, the current most likely theory is that drug smugglers or dealers stored the drugs in the bottle in order to possibly filter them out again later.
Ecstasy is also called “pink champagne” because of the colour. This fits with witness reports: They said that the drink was not transparent, but pale purple. But police have yet to confirm reports that the bottle was laced with the drug. The autopsy of the fatality on Monday could bring clarity. “I don’t think we can definitely name the contents of the bottle today,” said the spokesman. The investigations into this are currently ongoing. A special commission called “Market” has taken over the investigation. Among other things, witnesses should be questioned on Monday.
