Hardy Bucks actor Alan Carter's death was due to heart failure caused by cocaine, inquest hears
'THE DANGERS OF combining alcohol and drugs cannot be overestimated', a coroner warned today after returning a verdict of misadventure at an inquest into the death of a 37-year-old actor following a stag party in Westport, Co. Mayo, last August. The inquest into the death of Alan 'Ali' Carter from Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo, who acted as DJ Scorpio Lyons on the RTÉ comedy series, Hardy Bucks, was conducted by the Coroner for Mayo, Dr Eleanor Fitzgerald. On August 26 last year, Mr Carter attended a stag party in Westport before going back with three friends to an AirBnb on the outskirts of the town where they all consumed cocaine. Evidence was given in today's hearing that the deceased took DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), a hallucinogenic drug, in the early hours and went into a seizure from which he failed to recover. In a statement from gardaí read into the record at today's inquest, one of the actor's friends said: 'Ali put powder in a pipe. He could not sit still. He was rolling around on the ground. We administered CPR and called an ambulance'. Consultant pathologist Dr Tamas Nemeth, who carried out a post-mortem examination, gave the cause of death as acute heart failure due to a heart attack caused by cocaine. Advertisement Dr Nemeth explained that Mr Carter had a heart issue with up to 80 per cent stenosis. He said the cause of death was the level of cocaine combined with stenosis and death, in his opinion, was due to unnatural causes. The pathologist outlined that cocaine has been implicated as trigger of acute myocardial infarction both in patients free of coronary artery disease and more frequently in patients with underlying coronary atherosclerosis. He said Mr Carter has suffered from severe coronary sclerosis with up to 80 per cent segmental stenosis in the coronary artery system. The deceased's partner Lorraine informed the corner that Mr Carter had been born with an enlarged heart, had high blood pressure, had childhood sleep apnoea and was overweight.

'It is such a pity, such a tragedy, that a young person, out celebrating, that his young life ended in such a manner. 'However this is the reality of what we are dealing with. We don't want to be losing our loved ones to avoidable death'. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Dangerous hallucinogenic drug lab found near Spokane schools, suspect released by judge
This story was originally published on A hallucinogenic drug operation was found at a residence near two Spokane schools, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO). The man allegedly behind the operation was released by a judge without bail before he was rearrested on additional charges. According to court documents, 34-year-old Zachary S. Kennedy was arrested on multiple drug-related charges after police say he sold a confidential informant drugs at the lab, which was housed in a rental near Yasuhara Middle School and Gonzaga Preparatory School. SCSO reports that the lab was designed to extract the hallucinogen Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and grow Psilocybin Mushrooms. Detectives searched the residence on March 5, arresting Kennedy on suspicion of two counts of delivery of a controlled substance, the sheriff's office stated in a news release. 'The Washington State Department of Ecology assisted with transporting and destroying multiple gallons of recovered hazardous waste,' SCSO said in a statement. 'It was explained that during the manufacturing of DMT, a Naphtha layer is extracted and put in glass jars, which were then placed in the freezer for several days. This is extremely dangerous as Naphtha is a highly flammable and explosive liquid, similar to gasoline, and created a substantial likelihood of 'imminent danger' for anyone near the clandestine DMT lab.' Released and rearrested Police collected evidence, including large quantities of DMT, psilocybin mushrooms, multiple gallons of toxic waste, and firearms. The Washington State Department of Ecology assisted in transporting and destroying the hazardous waste produced during the DMT manufacturing process. On March 6, Kennedy was released on his own recognizance by Spokane County Superior Court Commissioner T. Rugel. But it wasn't long before he was again in custody. Police rearrested Kennedy on six additional felony charges, including four counts related to possession, delivery, and manufacturing of controlled substances, hazardous waste violations, and unlawful use of a building for drug purposes, according to The Spokesman-Review.
