The young woman said she had tried Ecstasy before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">They made plans to smoke weed together, and the young man said he would buy it from a friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">However, their plans fell through because the man did not manage to get the drug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">On Jan 30, 2025, the man went to his friend\u2019s house for a Chinese New Year gathering. He left sometime between 10pm and 11pm, and went home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">At about 3am on Jan 31, 2025, he texted the woman, saying he had gambled and lost a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">He then wrote in a subsequent message: \u201cLet\u2019s do some meth lol\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The woman replied that she would read up on the drug online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The conversation continued with the pair discussing how they should consume methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">While the woman waited for her parents to fall asleep so that she could leave her house, the man filled four empty pill capsules with methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">At about 4.40am, the woman said she was leaving her residence, and the man booked her a private-hire vehicle to his home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She arrived at his house at about 5.15am and they went to his bedroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">At about 5.30am, the man\u2019s domestic helper, whose bedroom was directly below his, said she heard chairs being dragged around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The man\u2019s brother, who returned home at about 2pm that day, noticed a pair of women\u2019s shoes outside their home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">He peeked into the man\u2019s bedroom and noticed women\u2019s undergarments on the floor. Wanting to give his brother some privacy, he closed the bedroom door and returned to his own room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The brother later left the house and returned at about 3.30pm. He noticed that the woman\u2019s shoes were still in the same spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">He went into the man\u2019s room at about 4.45pm and saw him lying on the floor in his underwear. His body appeared dark and was cold to the touch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The brother called the Singapore Civil Defence Force, while the helper alerted the man\u2019s other brother, who began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">While in the room, they heard someone crying in the toilet. They later found the woman sitting on the toilet floor in an undressed state. They tried to speak to her, but she did not respond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Paramedics arrived at the house at about 5pm. They checked the man\u2019s vital signs and pronounced him dead at 5.01pm. His death was reported to the police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The man\u2019s brothers later told the paramedic that there was a woman in the toilet. The paramedic examined her and noticed that her blood pressure was low and that there were bruises on her body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The woman was taken to Changi General Hospital, where she was intubated and given medication. She died at 10.45pm on the same day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Police officers who went to the man\u2019s home found two small storage bags containing a white substance on a poker table in his bedroom, along with a blister pack of pills. Four pills had been removed from the blister pack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">There were also a digital weighing scale and a handbag believed to belong to the woman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The state coroner said forensic analysis of the man\u2019s phone revealed a video of him and the woman in his bedroom, showing them inhaling methamphetamine and acting in a manic manner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The man\u2019s blunt force injuries were likely due to a fall or impact with furniture in his bedroom, as the effects of the drugs resulted in uncoordinated movements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The state coroner said there was no evidence that both of them had taken methamphetamine to end their lives, adding that he accepted the police\u2019s conclusions that there was no foul play involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201c(This) serves as a stark reminder of the danger of consuming illicit substances. This was a case of experimentation with drugs that tragically took the lives of two teenagers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">He also expressed his condolences to the family members of the two teens, who attended the hearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">In its annual statistics released on Feb 10, the Central Narcotics Bureau said there were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/courts-crime\/more-young-and-female-drug-abusers-arrested-in-2025-cnb?ref=inline-article\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"gap-x-04 items-center inline text-primary-60 select-auto\" aria-label=\"link\" target=\"_blank\" data-testid=\"custom-link\"><span class=\"inline font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"typography-test-id\">more young and new drug abusers arrested<\/span><\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Of the 1,165 new drug abusers arrested in 2025, half were below the age of 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The number of new drug abusers below the age of 20 arrested by CNB increased by 22 per cent from 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/courts-crime\/teens-who-died-from-consuming-drugs-made-methamphetamine-pills-inhaled-drug-coroner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE \u2013 The two teenagers who died after using Ice, or methamphetamine, had made their own meth pills and also inhaled the drug.
