Dear Reader:
UK authorities warn the public of black market 'Donkey Kong' ecstasy after death of a 13-year-old boy
Here's an absolutely horrible story for you. A group of people out there have taken to creating ecstasy that is shaped like Donkey Kong's head. Somehow, one of those pills made it into the hands of 13-year-old Carson Price, and he has since passed away. With police suspecting the ecstasy as the cause of the death, and also confirming another case where a man went to the hospital after taking one of the pills, they've released the following statement to the public.
“The community are telling us that they have growing concerns about this drug and we want to do all we can to make people aware of the dangers.
Our advice to all members of the public who may currently have this drug in their possession, is to not take it. If you have already taken Donkey Kong or any other illegal drug and feel unwell, please seek medical help immediately.
We want everyone to be aware of the devastating consequences that drugs can have and we’re especially asking all parents to speak to their children and to share our message.”
