It seems this is all I tend to report on this blog. Drug overdoses at Bathhouses that lead to someone’s death.
This time it has happened at Pleasuredrome. Three men collapsed of an apparent drug overdose and paramedics were called at 8:15 AM.
One man died, another 46-year-old remains in a critical condition in hospital, and a third man, a 34-year-old, is expected to make a full recovery.
This is not the first time the gay community has been warned about drugs being contaminated. This past summer there have been a string of overdoses and deaths at various clubs in and around London.
