  • Events The meeting of Rayan, the 14-year-old boy who died after trying the 'pink poison' in Madrid: "They gave us a bunch of coca"

Five days after the death of young Rayan due to an overdose, the efforts of the National Police are focused on completing the report that will be sent to the Prosecutor's Office to clarify the facts and on

searching for the person who apparently supplied him with the narcotic substances that caused his death. death.

In the absence of an in-depth toxicological report, and contrary to what the first investigations indicated, the chemical tests indicate that the substance that caused the death of the minor was cocaine, and not tusi, a chemical known as pink cocaine, which consists of a mixture of ketamine (a veterinary anesthetic), MDMA (a powerful hallucinogen) and caffeine.

As the investigation by the Getafe Judicial Police progresses, the hypothesis that Rayan's death was the result of a homicide is being diluted in favor of the fact that the death occurred accidentally, as a result of the narcotics that Rayan would have consumed voluntarily

after having bought the “very cheap” drug from another young man at a price much lower than the market price.

A hypothesis that directly contradicts the version provided by the deceased's mother to GRAN MADRID, who maintains that her son "

neither took drugs, nor did he want to commit suicide"

and which points to the death being caused by a murderer.

Autopsy of the minor

In the absence of a detailed autopsy that determines the exact amount of drug consumed and what type of substance it was, preliminary reports indicate that the cause of death was "cardiorespiratory arrest" due to "overdose." In addition,

it is being investigated whether the young man suffered from any pathology

that Rayan himself was unaware of.

Likewise, within the framework of the investigation, the National Police is also reviewing videos on Instagram, TikTok and other networks of friends and acquaintances of the deceased, as well as recordings from security cameras from the Espartales metro stop, in Getafe. A town where the boy had gone for the first time on the day of his death.

, a scene that some accounts on the Chinese social network have shared in tribute videos to the rhythm of trap music.

The second, the altar that the dead man's acquaintances erected on a concrete construction in the El Casar park in Getafe, where several

young people placed blue bandanas and posed making hand gestures associated with the Crips

, a gang that emerged among the community. African American organization from Los Angeles (California), of which supposed chapters or branches have already been found in cities such as Seville.
