He’s a deadly duo for me but on a personal level could be a good source of celebration. We’ll see. Reuters is reporting that he's switching prisons, which might explain why he's been incommunicado for a while. Also four people picked him, so you're not getting your deadly duo bonus, even if he's dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) The report on the autopsy suggests that ketamine contributes to heart disease. I did not know that. Quote At the high levels of ketamine found in his post-mortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression," senior deputy medical examiner Raffi Djabourian wrote, according to the Press Association. "Drowning contributes due to the likelihood of submersion into the pool as he lapsed into unconsciousness; coronary artery disease contributes due to exacerbation of ketamine induced myocardial effects on the heart. Just say no, middle aged men! Edited December 16, 2023 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 Week 50 update No deaths this week but it's been confirmed that Matthew Perry died by going into a k hole, having a heart attack and drowning all at the one time: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/dec/15/matthew-perry-cause-of-death-ketamine-autopsy Quote Perry, who rose to stardom playing Chandler Bing in the US sitcom Friends, was reportedly receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety before his death, Variety reported. A postmortem examination concluded Perry died from the “acute effects of ketamine” while contributing factors included “drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine” – which is used to treat opioid use disorder. Some more details about "ketamine infusion therapy" here: Risks and benefits - Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Quote Ketamine is a treatment for depression which has not responded to other treatments. A rapid antidepressant effect has been demonstrated in many clinical trials of single intravenous infusions over the last 20 years in patients with depression which has not responded to at least 2 or 3 antidepressants. The response lasts at least a day for about 70% of patients and up to three days for 30% of patients. The majority of patients relapse within two weeks after treatment. In our clinic 50% of people who try ketamine have enough of a benefit that they think it is worth continuing with it. It is important to recognise that ketamine is not licensed as an antidepressant. It has not been evaluated in large, or long term, clinical trials. This means that the long-term success rates have not been fully documented. Hmm.

Aim Here Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 27 minutes ago, TxRover said: Those standings, what’s our closest finish ever? The narrowest in recorded history is when DBA took the title from Albino Rover by 4 points (498 to 494) in 2017. As things stand, 2023 is not quite THAT close, in that technically I'm in the lead by 22 points, what with Ryan O' Neal being the presumptive holder of the last gasp bonus. It only comes down to three if someone else scores in a way that doesn't otherwise affect the top two standings. So here's to a long, healthy, happy life for everyone in the dead pool roster. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
