90 Year Old Kuwaiti Overdoses on Heroin?

This is very hard for me to imagine:

Citizen dies of heroin overdose

Al Watan staff

KUWAIT: A citizen in 90s died on Wednesday at his house in Jabriya due to an overdose of heroin. After the Operation Room received a phone call from the family informing them that the Kuwaiti man suddenly fainted, police officers and medical teams rushed to the house. The man was taken to the hospital by paramedics but passed away. Forensic police examined the corpse and confirmed that a drug overdose was the main cause of death.

  4. i dont think its a “heroin” overdose ,, a drug overdose of medication is more likly but you know the press like to spice up things.
    at this age its not uncommon that people use anti psychotic drugs.. mostly for depression.

  5. Daggero – I agree.

    AbdulAziz – I almost fell over – heroin is an anti-psychotic?

  6. NO its not ! read my comment again please 🙂
    i said idont think the man had an over dose of heroin , i think he was on some kind of anti psychotic medication and thats what he had OD’d on ,, which by the way might give the same picture of an OD on heroin.. sorry if i wasnt clear

  7. LOL, now I see what you meant, AbdulAziz. Sorry. You are saying it wasn’t heroin at all, but something that may appear to look like a heroin OD but be something else entirely. Sorry, I misunderstood.
