(Kemptville, ON) Grenville County Ontario Provincial Police are assisting in a Coroner’s Investigation involving the death of a 23 year old female.
Shortly after 3:00 a.m. on January 18th, Police were dispatched to a report of a female with no vital signs at a Kemptville residence. The female was pronounced deceased at the scene.
A post mortem has been completed and Police are awaiting toxicology results.
The initial investigation has determined that illegal substances, believed to be ecstasy (also known as MDMA OR “Mollyâ€) were located at the residence.
Police are warning the public about the dangers of ecstasy. Such dangers include the rapid and acute onset of symptoms and can lead to sudden death.
MDMA can cause problems with the body’s ability to regulate temperature, particularly when it is used in active or hot temperature settings. On rare occasions, this can lead to a sharp rise in body temperature, known as hyperthermia, which can cause liver, kidney, heart failure or death.
