Trio charged over death linked to vet euthanasia drug

Three people are accused of helping a man to get his own life using a veterinary euthanasia medicine, and more death is under investigation.

In April, two men and a woman allegedly committed suicide by a Gold Coast man were accused.

A forensic medicine ordered the police investigation after the 43 -year -old man had a deadly dose pentobarbiton.

The results of toxicology confirmed that the man died of acute pentobarbiton toxicity, a veterinary euthanasia medicine.

After a comprehensive investigation on the health registration and medical treatment of the man, the police accused two 53 and 80 -year -old men and a 81 -year -old woman.

Detective Inspector Mark Mooney said the arrests were the result of a complex investigation that was expanded to include a number of deaths dating back to 2021.

“We believe that this number can grow as the investigation continues.”

Police want everyone to come to the forefront.
