A man was found unresponsive with powders and paraphernalia nearby. Toxicological analysis of his blood, the powders, and paraphernalia identified five compounds, including 3-MeO-PCP and o-desmethyltramadol, which were quantified in the blood. The results suggest that death resulted from the combined action of these two substances, an unusual mix of new psychoactive substances. This case underscores the importance of examining all scene evidence and using broad-spectrum analytical methods to detect and identify substances involved in intoxication.
