NEWS: The Age 31-8-02 A policeman who would try just about anything, and died for it

I was a bit worried at first - didn't notice this was from 2002, have there been any /many reports of pills going around containing a mix of amphetamines and opiates in more recent years?
 
I'd be interested to hear when this 'operation ayah' took place. Just because the drugs found on him when he died weren't from the raid, doesn't mean he didn't steal them. At any rate I guess it doesn't matter. It sounds like this guy's death was a terrible terrible waste. I feel sorry for his mum.
 
As terrible as it sounds, he may have been setup? if he were the only person to have those Blue CKs that contained meth+morphine, then my opinion+guess is the suppliers may have repressed using the CK imprint+blue dye to set him up, if not kill him, knowing that he was an undercover cop+also recreational user, also would be nice to know how much meth+morphine was in per pill? I myself have IVd 60mg morphine, and smoke ice on top of that, but would assume if there were at least 100 to 150mg of morphine but say 50mg or 20mg meth, then there could be a possible OD, especially for one not familiar with opiates, but then wouldnt that mean the pill would not have much binders in it if there were so much morphine+less meth pressed??. Pill testing seems very appropriate these days!!

seems like far too much trouble to go to for 'pay back' - pill pressers/dies don't grow on tree's :p
 
this has jolted me, i really think that every police officer should have frequent drug tests, it doesnt make sence that people who arrest u for having drugs are able to get a way with taking drugs themselves...............makes me hate police even more
 
This is why you should test your pills kids, it might not be able to differentiate very well from a meth bomb and mdma, but if its just meth, or worse still something completely different you will know about it.

Pretty fucking stupid way to die. Too many people play russian rulette doing this.

And for cops doing drugs, well they are people as well. I wouldnt be surprised if it happens more often. They should be tested frequently though, I dont want cops high/coming down on the job.
 
Mum wants drug officer's death re-examined
Padraic Murphy
January 08, 2007

THE mother of a young detective who overdosed on drugs suspected to have been stolen during police raids wants his death re-investigated.
William Geoffrey Gunn was found dead in June 2001 in his inner Melbourne home after taking a morphine-laced pill he believed was ecstasy.

Despite a coronial inquest, an investigation by VicPol's Ethical Standards Department and further investigation by the anti-corruption Ceja taskforce, Gunn's family still does not know the source of the drugs that killed the 32-year-old detective.

"I believe Billy's death has been purposefully under-investigated," Marlene Gunn said yesterday. Mrs Gunn said her son was a health fanatic whose use of recreational drugs may have flowed from the stress of working undercover infiltrating drug rings.

"How could you move in those circles and not risk being caught up?" she said.

Funeral staff discovered a bag containing five red tablets and seven blue pills in his jeans pocket. The red tablets later tested positive for ecstasy and the blue for morphine, the drug suspected of triggering the heart attack that killed Gunn. The Ceja investigation focused on the origin of the red pills, which were initially suspected of being stolen from criminals by police conducting raids in Operation Ayah.

Exhaustive forensic testing ruled out any link to drugs allegedly stolen in those raids, but Mrs Gunn now wants to know why police have never fully tested the blue tablets. Ceja detectives suspect they were stolen in a raid on a small-time drug dealer in Prahran, in Melbourne's inner southeast, in April 2001.

The drug dealer has told corruption investigators he had stopped selling the tablets because they were making people ill. Investigators believe these drugs may have been stolen.

One of the officers involved in the raid on the Prahran drug dealer's house has since been identified as being present in at least seven other raids in which drugs and cash were allegedly stolen by police.

The drug dealer claims he was visited by that still-serving police officer after Gunn's death and told not to co-operate with corruption investigators.

Mrs Gunn wants the coroner to re-open her son's case, examining the role other police and force management may have played in his death. "Billy was almost a fanatic about his fitness and very particular about his healthy diet," she said. "We were stunned to learn that he was a sporadic user of ecstasy."

After his death, Mrs Gunn said senior police encouraged her to say the death was due to a heart attack. She says VicPol said she would have to pay for analysis of the drugs if she wanted to take the investigation further.

A VicPol spokesman said there was no link between drugs at the scene of Gunn's death and any seized by the drug squad.

Upset

To all you people that read the article about the officer over dosing on drugs and being found in his apartment dead in June on 2001 that is my uncle and that is not what happened if you would like to get your story straight please contact me at [removed]. Do not believe everything that is posted or written in the newspaper because not all of it is true, exspecially this stuff about my uncle and overdosing, so please contact me because i would like to have a say about what was posted about him
thankyou:(

[EDIT: I've removed your email, we have rules about asking people to contact you. I'm sorry for your loss and I understand why you might be upset but if you want to put forward another side than what the media have reported, you'll have to do so publicly. hoptis]

Hey Tegang2, we appreciate that you'd be upset. No-one wants to read about a relative in such an impersonal manner. And as for believing everything we read in the paper... please.

But like Rolls said, if you're so keen to air 'your side of the story' do it here. It's very unlikely anyone will email you asking for it.

And if you hadn't bumped this thread, it would most likely have remained lost in the archives and the memories of the original posters...
 
^ You don't get the point, its hypocritical because he is incarcerating people for the same crime that he is doing, so he should really be in jail himself. It is double standards for him to put people in jail for drug charges, then use drugs himself. Has nothing to do with whether he agrees with the law or not

Doesn't it remind you of Fahrenheit 451 where young Guy Montag is tempted from his job of burning books to actually read one......

Just like this copper, he started trying the very thing he was meant to be stopping.

Ironically if drugs were legal, created in government certified labs then he would not have had died in vain.
 
"It is unclear, though, why Gunn would give a stranger a pill valued at between $50 and $80. And why a detective would be so reckless as to risk criminal charges and the sack by passing over illegal drugs in a pub. Some of his friends believe Foard provided the drugs"

WTF? am i seeing things? 50-80 bux a pill?
 
yeah haha i read those too...then that the sum of what he had being worth nearly a grand....not that we can discuss prices, so i'll just say that those numbers surprised me.

I don't think any one should be tested.


Who gives a fuck what you do in the privacy of your on home as long as you don't hurt another human being.

Not in defense of the police or anything cause I don't like them so much either but just because they are arresting you for drugs doesn't mean they believe in what they are doing.
