The Age reports that a man in Albury has been charged with the manslaughter of Cassandra Harper, 19, who died three days after taking what police believe was GHB (also called 'liquid ecstasy'). The main has been accused of supplying a bad batch of the drug to Harper.
The Australian Drug Foundation said a 2004 study found 10 deaths across Australasia to have been associated with GHB from January 2000 to August 2003.
Separate research in 2008 found 170 Australian emergency department presentations had been related to the drug over a 30-month period, but none had died.
