Important context missing from headline:<p>&quot;Less than three hours after Mark Barr called for help, his son was dead of a toxic dose of ketamine, the initial autopsy report said. That report was later amended to list cause of death as toxic effects of ketamine combined with LSD and cough medicine.&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t know enough about pharmacology to say that they definitely shouldn&#x27;t have added that ketamine, but it&#x27;s also very hard to know what to do when someone is in a dangerous state and may (or may not) have other drugs in their system.
