MUSICAL ECSTASY PILLS CAUSED TEEN'S DEATH

Durham Regional Police are asking for the public's help in an 
investigation involving a 15-year-old girl who died after ingesting 
the illegal street drug ecstasy.

Emergency crews responded to a call from a Zeller's store located at 
100 Kingston Rd. after the Ajax teen collapsed on July 15.

She slipped into a coma before passing away last Wednesday.

Police are looking for information regarding yellow ecstasy tablets 
stamped with musical notes on them.

Investigators say the man-made drug, also known as MDMA, give the 
appearance of harmless candy but are extremely dangerous, often 
containing a variety of other substances, including ephedrine, 
amphetamine, ketamine and LSD.
