Man takes contaminated medications and dies seven others become sick.
After consuming what authorities believe to be potentially contaminated zopiclone, a medicine used to treat sleeplessness, a man passed away.
According to Cleveland Police, the man may have taken tablets from a drug batch that was potentially tainted, which might cause significant illness or lead to an overdose.
According to the report, North Tees General Hospital in Stockton-on-Tees received seven additional patients on Friday who were thought to have taken the pills.
A warning to drug users was issued by the force, which asked anyone with information regarding the pharmaceutical batch that they had concerns about drugs in the community to contact them.
