students death leads to DMT lab

August 19th 2016
BOONE, NC - The Boone Police Department is investigating the possible drug-related death of an Appalachian State University student. But a discovery inside his apartment makes this an unusual investigation.
When police responded to a welfare check Wednesday afternoon, they found the body of 27-year-old Daniel Fritz, a junior at Appalachian State. They also found a DMT lab.
Lieutenant Chris Hatton said he's seen an uptick in DMT use among college students, but labs are very rare. Each year, there's an average of five DMT lab busts throughout the entire state of North Carolina.
Despite how rare it is to find DMT labs, Hatton says Fritz's death is a wake-up call.
"It was already on our radar before this, but it definitely is in the very front of our minds," Hatton said.
Neighbors are still in disbelief they lived so close to a drug lab. A neighbor who lived on the same floor as Fritz said he mostly kept to himself. The neighbor said he never could have imagined this.
The neighbor said when police came, they asked residents to leave the building for a few hours while crews got rid of the chemicals in the apartment.
Other neighbors, however, aren't so surprised to find out about the drug lab.
"I'd just stand on my deck, and I'd watch people go in and out of that apartment complex all the time," said Eli Gailes, also an Appalachian State student.
Last year, there were multiple drug-related deaths among Appalachian State students. They were all off-campus, and were not related.
In response to Fritz's death, the university released the following statement:
"The Appalachian Community is deeply saddened about the death of Daniel Fritz. The university is providing support to the students, faculty and others who knew him, and our thoughts and sympathy are with his family and loved ones at this time. The university's primary concern is for the safety and wellness of our students. Appalachian has many resources available to students who face challenges or are grieving. A comprehensive list of these can be found at appcares.appstate.edu."
With another school year just starting, Hatton said the police department is doing everything it can now to prevent more drug-related deaths among students.
"Appalachian is doing a lot of things to educate them. We have specific narcotics enforcement units here, and that's their role, to try and identify the sources of drugs before they get here," Hatton said.
Police officials are still waiting for autopsy results to release an official cause of death, but there were no signs of foul play, and they believe this, too, was drug-related.

They don't say how he died? Unless they don't know yet.
I can't see how someone could die from DMT.

Lol
I'm lucky if i can even stand up after I blast off.
Ive been around a lot of extractions and never has it felt like a health concern to evacuate a building. But they bring in hazmat suits for mushroom grows so I guess some lye and naptha would worry them. I guess lol.
You dont want to breathe in the lye as its dissolving in the water but other than that.

It also whips naive people up into a blind scare-frenzy like the word "terrorist," especially when the biohazard suits roll in. Gotta keep the easily shaken fan base on their toes so they vote for more pig power.

Exactly, more anti-drug media bs. I would know the cause of death once they figure it out.

Yeah I laughed at that because DMT and its analogues are so common in nature I wonder the shock they would have if they knew God had made trees and plants everywhere that were harbouring their own natural "drug labs."
Forget the drug war, its time fir a war on nature maybe even god itself. Planting all these pesky drug labs everywhere.
I feel sorry for this guy to have such a thing as a acid/base extraction in that part of the world. Now what he will goto jail for years because he extracted a friggin plant? Thats a fucked up society there.

I once knew a guy that smoked DMT and broke through straight to the after-life, autopsy stated he OD'ed on enlightenment. It happens, most people just eat too much ramen though so the effects are greatly hindered.

Guy was just into drugs, including DMT. Probably dies of something drug related, but OTHER than DMT, and the "lab" was an incidental finding at the location where he died that the press used to sensationalize the story and unnecessarily alarm the community.
S.O.P in the vilification of drugs and the people who use them.

In all seriousness, apparently it is possible to literally be scared to death, due to heart complications from shock. Who knows, this guy could have been one of those extremely rare cases I personally don't like to rule anything out completely when it comes to drugs, especially drugs that are so uncommon when compared to drug use in general.

Sigh...What a load of crap. No way DMT is the sole culprit here.
