Horse Sense, not from Kellogs

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Guests initially ignored country boy Dean Coldwell as he lay unconcious on the floor at a birthday party in central London.

When they could not revive him he was taken to the Chelsea & Westminster hospital where it was confirmed that in addition to being twice over the drink & drive limit he had snorted 10 times the safe dose of Ketamine, perhaps believeing it to be better or safer than heroin. Presumable Ketamine would be available to him through friends in local farms and country vet practices, or stables.

Known as "Special K", Ketamine is only intended for use as a horse tranquiliser and is not for human use at all.

Coroner Paul Knapman said "It would seem likely he was an unsopohisticated user of drugs and this caused his death".

This implies that "sophisticated drug users" sadly do not volunteer to improve the quality of the gene pool by removing themselves from it, as has this thoughtful fellow with his special K, a fitting final breakfast!
