Four deaths linked to Cork party drug

The drug that left a teenager fighting for his life in Cork City has been identified as 25I-NBOMe — a potent hallucinogenic stimulant.

Gardaí warned that people who are taking the drug, particularly in powder form, have no idea how much they are swallowing or snorting.

An man, 18, remained in a critical condition at Cork University Hospital yesterday. He was one of six people rushed to hospital on Tuesday after becoming seriously ill at a house party on St Patrick’s Terrace on Green St.
