DEATH OF A STARLET FULL

If you tell them that it's a dangerous, lethal drug, and they see nightclubs full of people popping pills with no side-effect other than a seratonin crash the next day, they'll treat everything else you tell them as a lie.

What I do disagree with is this kind of tabloid press sensationalism about it being a killer. If people are going to use E - and they do, and will - they have to treat it with respect the same respect they should be affording to alcohol, in fact. The full effects of it are not understood, and no research has conclusively proved it to be safe or harmful. I don't disagree with the idea that Ecstasy is a dangerous thing. In fact, only amphetamines come in lower on the list of lethal drugs last year about 16 people died using them. Commercially available sedatives killed about 175 commercially available antidepressants killed about 185, and commercially available antipsychotics killed just under 40.

Methadone and other opiates were responsible for about 490.Īlcohol was the primary cause of death for just over 350 people. Of those 27, 19 had other drugs in their systems at the time of post-mortem, raising questions about which one was actually to blame for their deaths.īy way of comparison, Cocaine was responsible for over 60 deaths. That's 27 in 12 months, in a country where between 500,000 and 2,000,000 tablets of Ecstasy are taken each weekend. Last year Ecstasy (not MDMA - tablets sold as Ecstasy, and hence containing all manner of stuff) was fingered as the cause of death or a major contributory factor to death in 27 cases in the UK. It does? That's interesting - have you got proof of this, or did you just pull it out of your head? Can you find statistics to back up your claim? The taking of designer drugs leads to a very high chance you will die Few from my own generation can understand the risks that our youngsters take with their lives through drugs such as Ecstacy, but if the death of Liam O'Sullivan is to teach us anything then it is that we must try to understand this problem and do anything we can to eradicate it.' On the Message Board, as shocked supporter's truggled to come to terms with the loss of a promising footballer in such a manner. Police where called to his home at 8.30 on Monday morning, with a spokesman for Lothian and Borders Police saying: 'Mr O'Sullivan's death is not being treated as suspicious, and we are awaiting the results of tests.' Hundreds of tributes have been made from Hibs fans While a post-mortem examination is still to be carried out, it is being reported that Liam had been drinking and taking drugs during a night out in Haddington on Sunday. He was a giant of a player and fearless, indeed very much in the mode of current Hibs and Scotland star Garry O'Connor, a close friend of O'Sullivan and said to be 'devastated' at the news of his friends death, his family taking calls and saying only that he was too upset to talk. McLeish was as shocked as everyone else when told of Liam's death, saying: 'I brought him to Hibs and he showed a lot of promise, and that is why he was rewarded with a long-term contract, he was a likeable big fellow and this news saddens me.' For those Hibs fans who followed the fortunes of the clubs Under-18 and Under-21 sides, 'Trigger' was rightly considered toīe a cut above the rest. Liam O'Sullivan however was different, he was a highly talented young man, so talented indeed that former Hibs boss Alex McLeish signed him on a five-year deal, convinced that this was another talent that would enjoy all the trappings of the successful football star. These are just the latest in a long line of victims, the irony is that had Liam O'Sullivan not been a rising star of Hibernian F.C., his death would have been reported with a few words and the world would have moved on leaving the family and friends in their grief. Liam was found dead yesterday morning at his home in Haddington, the second drug-related death in the East Lothian town in 24 hours. It was said that football is not a matter of life and death, it is more important than that - but it's not true, not for anyone connected with the club nor for the family and friends of Liam O'Sullivan. 'ALL THE PROBLEMS FACING SCOTTISH FOOTBALL pale into insignificance when you consider the sad death of an up and coming Hibee who had every chance to make a great life for himself in the game. He's the 3rd soccer player to die as a result of E this season in Scotland.
