BAD ECSTASY KILLED RAVERS TESTS SHOW

B.C.'s chief coroner confirmed yesterday that the two rave partygoers who
died nine days ago ingested bad ecstasy.

Chief coroner Terry Smith said the preliminary results of the toxicology
tests taken show Khanh Vo, 16, and an unidentified 24-year-old woman died
from a form of ecstasy that was poorly manufactured.

Smith again asked that anyone who has recently bought ecstasy to dispose of
it or turn it in.

Following the monster rave at the PNE's Pacific Coliseum on Oct. 28, the
two died the next morning.

Ecstasy, X or E, is methylenedioxymethamphetamine or MDMA, a diet drug that
gives a feeling of well-being and emotional sensitivity in controlled
doses. In larger doses it can cause fatal heart attacks or brain hemorrhages.
