Abstract
The first observation of lethal recreational use of MDMA (ecstasy) and MDEA in Italy is reported, together with extensive toxicological and histopathological documentation. Findings such as disseminated intrava scular coagulation, rarely reported before, are colocated in the frame work of the toxic syndrome for a better definition of criteria for for ensic diagnosis.
