The Deputy Chief Coroner is echoing a mum's warning about the extreme dangers of synthetic drugs after the death of her 25-year-old son from the harmful substance.
Dylan Hotter-Matehe accidentally died from using synthetic cannabis which he had taken to get high on March 8, 2018, Coroner A.J. Tutton has ruled.
The Christchurch man's death also served as a reminder of the need to get help immediately if a synthetic cannabis user collapses or becomes unresponsive, according to the findings released today.
