A 56-year-old man died after injecting mephedrone – also known as M-CAT – into his shoulder during chemsex. They said 'fatal cases of chemsex are still rare' and dying because of mephedrone poisoning was also uncommon. But, although it was unclear how much mephedrone the man had taken, they said the drug 'played a substantial role' in his death. Commonly used drugs in chemsex include crystal meth, mephedrone and GHB – the latter has a reputation as a 'date rape drug'. Mr Hamilton added that using drugs during sex could disguise sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction which could have more serious, deeper underlying causes.
