Additional Information:

The term "club drugs" is often used to loosely categorize recreationally abused drugs associated with their places of use rather than by their pharmaceutical properties. Typical of such places include discotheques, dance clubs, raves and other places where persons gather to enjoy themselves.

An infamous example of drugs being identified in human bodies involved a doctor, a father of four, practicing family medicine in the U.K. His name was Harold Shipman. His patients reportedly loved him to death––their deaths, not his. In news accounts, he was often referred to as Dr. Death. The lawyer daughter of his last victim suspected him of murdering her mother and convinced authorities to have her body exhumed. Shipman had listed the mother as having died of old age, but lethal levels of diamorphine (heroin) were found in her liver and thigh muscles. Additional bodies were subsequently exhumed and were also found to have lethal drug levels in their bodies. Shipman was arrested in 1998 and was charged with having committed 15 murders. He was found guilty of each murder and was sentenced to 15 life terms in prison. A subsequent investigation of the Shipman case was ordered by the UK Government in February 2000. It collected some 2,500 witness statements. It was estimated that Shipman had likely killed several hundred persons.
