A young man without psychiatric history died after jumping from a second-story balcony while under the influence of psilocybin mushrooms. Psilocin concentrations measured 60 ng/mL in peripheral blood, 67 ng/mL in cardiac blood, 2230 ng/mL in urine, 3102 ng/mL in bile, and 57 ng/mL in vitreous humor. The case and literature review demonstrate that even regular users in seemingly safe circumstances can suffer fatal outcomes from psilocybin mushrooms alone.
