Did anyone read the last report on the matter? It wasn't poisoning, she had a bad heart and people with bad hearts should avoid heavy activities like tripping. Poisoning isn't an extremely rapid way to die - it takes a few days as your liver begins to fail.
The chance of dying from a psilocybin overdose is pretty slim (practically zero), but anyone with poor health IS likely to die from the effects of the trip (not the psilocybin itself).

glad to see they actually published a follow up article rather than brushing the whole thing off after finding out they were wrong. still a shame though..

Here's another follow up in the same paper. Basically expands on what was already wrong with the girl before she ate the mushrooms.
Transplant girl dies after eating mushrooms
Page 1 of 2 5:00AM Sunday May 27, 2007
By Michelle Coursey
Te Awhina Hawera died after eating magic mushrooms.
A university student who died after eating magic mushrooms received a heart transplant 10 years ago.
Family and friends of Te Awhina Hawera, 23, gathered at a marae in Tuakau yesterday to celebrate the extra years the life-saving operation had given.
"She had lots of friends - from schools, from clubs, all the things she was involved with," said her uncle, Jason Hawera.
He said his niece was a "typical Kiwi girl... She pushed a lot of things to the limit to see whether she could get away with them, but she was a likeable person."
Andy Tookey, the founder of GiveLife.org, a campaign promoting an effective organ donation system, said he didn't believe organ donation patients should feel they have to live a different life to others after receiving an organ.
"She is lucky she got the transplant originally, because she had 10 years of good life which wouldn't have been possible without a donor. I'm sure her parents are grateful that she got that."
Hawera, a former Sacred Heart Girls' College student, died on Thursday night after eating the mushrooms at a Hamilton East flat.
Acting senior sergeant Geoff Blow of Hamilton told the Herald on Sunday last night the case was under active investigation. He would not rule out the possibility that charges would be laid.
Police were still investigating where the mushrooms had come from and were expected to interview others in the flat.
Earlier police inquiries had revealed that Hawera had been with a group of friends when she tried magic mushrooms. She later collapsed, complaining of being cold and scared, and an ambulance was called around 8.30pm. Ambulance officers performed CPR but she died an hour and a half later at Waikato Hospital.
It was uncertain where the mushrooms had been consumed, but Hawera sometimes stayed with friends at a flat in Ford St, and a close friend said it was there that she went last Thursday night "to be safe".
Family members told the Herald on Sunday that it was there she began feeling badly ill.
Hawera was understood to have begun studying at the University of Waikato this year, after having worked on and off for the past few years. A close friend said she was unable to go to university or work regularly - "because of her heart".
The farewell for Hawera began on Friday night when about 400 people gathered at her family's home in Hamilton. Her father, Piripi, is a Maori resource teacher in Huntly, and her mother Judith teaches at the University of Waikato.
From there, Hawera's body was taken to the Nga Tai E Rua Marae in Tuakau, near Pokeno, yesterday, where a large number of family and friends had gathered to remember her.
Hawera had a heart transplant in 1997 after being diagnosed with rheumatic fever when she was 11, and subsequently had both valves in her heart replaced. Reports from the time of her heart transplant said Hawera took time to recover, but two years later played tennis and volleyball at school.
The transplant required her to be on immuno-suppressant medication for life. Those who receive major organ transplants are recommended to stay fit, reduce sodium intake, and avoid alcohol.
Her father, also had transplant surgery in 1988. At the time of Awhina Hawera's heart transplant, the family said they wanted to help make people aware there were not enough Maori organ donors.
There were just 25 organ donors in NZ last year - only seven of those were Maori. The total of seven Maori donors in 2006 was an increase on only seven Maori donors in the entire 10 years prior.
Still kind of ratshit that the cops MIGHT press charges against her flatmates. It's not like they forced her to eat them. People with hearts that seriously fucked up should take more precautions when it comes to drugs.

maybe she had a heart problem and it was triggered by the euphoria of shrooms, in which case it's believable. OR maybe the shrooms were contaminated but that wouldn't explain why the others were fine.
I saw a report from someone on another forum about someone losing consciousness with low blood pressure and heart symptoms after consuming shrooms. Although it doesn't seem to cause serious problems in healthy humans, it's possible it may set off problems in people with a particular medical condition. Say, for instance, it somehow set off problems in someone with a defective mitral valve, or whatever. Blood pressure can increase somewhat, and this could set off problems with something like a defective mitral valve which is often controlled with blood pressure medication.
I think it's likely she consumed poisonous toadstools, though.

I have had a triple bypass and lost over 50% of my heart due to a botched angiogram. It left me with severe Atrial fibrillation, until I began to use psilocybin again. I am now very healthy and fit. That said it is the height of folly to consume any recreational drug while on immunosupresants and have had a major organ transplanted. An allergic reaction to the shrooms could very well spark a rejection of the foreign organ. BTW I took the shrooms as a resignation of my imminent death( or so I believed) and found healing instead. It is my own observation and opinion that psilocybin is a direct treatment for A/F and is the sole reason for my excellent heart health despite dire medical predictions. I was given 7-9 yrs 8yrs ago.
My birthday is in a couple weeks and I will be having my yearly Big One 1200mg mesc and 5g pan cyan. It will not kill me and I will do it again every yr till I am too old to prepare my fun. Too much coffee is far more unpleasant to my cardiac health than any amount of psychedelic.
Poor stupid bitch! what kind of idiot would think dosing shrooms would be OK with a transplanted heart? And yeah it probably was psilocybin that killed her.She should not have even smoked pot. If she wanted to buzz it would have been far safer for her to do a couple Oxy's or some benzos since they are much easier on the heart.
