Drug Mix Kills Teen
Posted by Childress on October 4, 2006
A tough life has ended in a tragic death:
A Probe into childcare services at a county council is under way after a teenager in care died from a drugs overdose. The body of Miles Shanks, 15, was found on a derelict industrial site, close to Northampton town centre, on June 17.
The teenager, said to be from Erewash but whose family lived in Old Basford until earlier this year, had been placed in foster care by Derbyshire County Council. …
A pathologist report, which is likely to be a key focus of the council’s inquiry, revealed Miles Shanks died from choking on his own vomit and the toxic effects of drugs MDMA, ecstasy and cocaine.
At the time of his death, Miles was living with a foster family in West Hunsbury, Northampton. He had spent a large part of his life in care.
The report is from the Nottingham Evening Post, whose reporters apparently don’t understand that MDMA is ecstasy.

An ecstasy pill can contain a number of different active ingredients though, that are still refered to and sold as ecstasy – things like MDA, MDEA, 4MTA, PMA, DOB etc
Where as MDMA is MDMA.

Thank you for the clarification.

To put it more simply….
MDMA is ecstasy
Ecstasy is not always MDMA.
