What is acute intoxication?
Acute intoxication refers to the rapid onset of physical and mental disturbances after the consumption of substances like alcohol, drugs, or chemicals within a short period. According to Quironsalud, it can lead to potential disruptions in basic functions, such as breathing, heart rate, and consciousness. Thus, it is fatal to the human body.
While the specific symptoms can depend on the amount of substances consumed, medical providers consider severe intoxication, such as alcohol poisoning, a medical emergency, as it can lead to coma or death.
According to the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Burrell died because of 'acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine'. Diphenhydramine and cetirizine are antihistamines, while ethanol is a recognised compound of alcohol. Amphetamine is commonly used as a medication to treat ADHD, as reported by People.
The day after The Food Network star's death, a spokesperson for the NYPD told the media outlet that Burrell was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' at the scene. The police added that EMS 'responded and pronounced her deceased on scene.'
On June 20, The New York Times reported that the celebrity chef was 'discovered in the shower unconscious and unresponsive surrounded by approximately (100) assorted pills,' as the outlet cited an internal New York Police Department document viewed by them.

As per the latest Enforcement Report of US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the Mumbai-headquartered Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is recalling 5,448 bottles of a generic medication in the US. Princeton-based Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc is recalling the affected lot of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate capsules (60 mg) due to "Failed Dissolution Specifications", the US health regulator stated. The medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The drug firm initiated the Class II recall in the US on June 16 this year, it added. Another Mumbai-based drug maker Lupin is recalling 58,968 bottles of a generic combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. Naples-based Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc is recalling Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets (USP 20mg/12.5mg). The affected lot was manufactured at the company's Nagpur-based manufacturing facility. As per the USFDA, the company initiated the Class II recall on June 20 due to "Product Mix Up".

In another filing, the US health regulator said that Dr Reddy's Laboratories is recalling 1,476 bottles of Omeprazole Delayed-release capsules. The medication is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems. Princeton-based Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc initiated the Class II recall on June 30, 2025, USFDA stated. The affected lot was produced at the company's Bachupally (Telangana)-based manufacturing facility. The recall is due to the presence of foreign tablets/capsules, USFDA said. It is due to the presence of foreign Divalproex Sodium extended-release 250mg tablets in a bottle of omeprazole capsules, it added. As per the USFDA, a Class-II recall is initiated when the use of, or exposure to, a violative product may lead to temporary or medically reversible health consequences, or when the likelihood of serious adverse health outcomes is minimal.
