33 Die In Pakistan From Cough Syrup

Over the past four days at least thirty-three people have died in Pakistan, from what is suspected to be bad cough syrup.

Another fifty-four have become ill after using the medicine.

All of the deaths and illnesses have occurred in and around Gujranwala.

Doctors believe that either the medicine was bad, or the people may have also consumed too much of the cough syrup, in hopes of getting high off of it.

An investigation, of the medicine, is underway to determine which it is.

So far, the investigation has shown that multiple brands of cough syrup were used, including some home made varieties.

The home made ones increase the likelihood of bad medicine, but the multiple brands raise the chances of it being misuse of the syrup.
