Officials have determined that the death of a young man in Nain last month was due to what police are calling “polydrug toxicity.”

RCMP say toxicology reports on the young man who died of a suspected drug overdose show MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) also known as ecstasy or molly, and fentanyl were in his system.

Police are warning against the consumption of illicit drugs which could be laced with unknown, and toxic, substances.
