AI-generated summary
Christopher Dabadie, a 43-year-old man with a history of alcohol use disorder and seizures, was found dead at home on 1 December 2021, two days after two presentations to hospital where he was intoxicated and self-discharged. Autopsy revealed a glass injury to his arm and toxicology detected synthetic cannabinoid (5F-Cumyl-PINACA) and diazepam. The cause of death was unascertained. The coroner noted that synthetic cannabinoids are associated with seizures and cardiac anomalies which may cause death. Key clinical lessons include: recognising high-risk presentations (repeated intoxication, self-discharge), understanding emerging drug toxins, and the importance of follow-up after self-discharge. Better engagement with patients presenting acutely intoxicated, assessment of capacity to self-discharge, and consideration of involuntary treatment may have altered the outcome.
