A Victorian coroner is calling for the state government to urgently implement public drug testing following the deaths of five young Melbourne men.
A combination of synthetic substances the five men ingested caused them to act bizarrely, with one sustaining âunsurvivableâ brain damage while others suffered seizures and cardiac arrests after running into windows and walls across different parts of Melbourne between July 2016 and January 2017. Another fell from a 10th floor balcony.
