Israeli dealers selling E tabs with rat poison?

2 weeks ago a kid died at some party in Israel because he took an E tab.
On TV they interviewed his brother, who said that dealers sell E tablets with rat poision in Israel.
I am wondering if someone from Israel knows if he really had rat poision in the tab he took or did he die from dehydration or from any other reason?
And if it's true, i'll be glad if someone would have told me what kind of tab was it, how does it look like (color, size, name)
or if someone knows any other poisoned / bad tabs please post a warning.
Thank you.

hmmm all i found was this:

In Brief - Ecstasy mixed with strychnine may have been imported to Israel
(IsraelWire-2/22) According to police in Holland, Ecstasy pills mixed with the poison strychnine, in lethal quantities, may have been imported to Israel from that country. According to the Israel Radio report on Monday, a large quantity of the pills are smuggled into Israel from Holland.

this is the same story that floated around for a while after one pill was tested by a Dutch drugs lab and found to contain strychine. Police later went on record saying that no other pills were found and they suspected the pill was submitted by someone as a sick, practical joke. no reports of deaths due to strychinine laced e have ever been reported.

i think perhaps the rat poison thing was a rumour spread by people who half remembered the original story from back in february. if there is indeed an autopsy report that confirms this kid died from strychnine the rest assured we will hear about it soon enuf...

...which raises the usual point during this discussion.."why would a dealer KNOWINGLY spike his own pills (and marketplace) with a lethal human poison, thus killing his clients and his own livelihood? (Dammit: how do you spell that!!)...
a rumour, urban myth, pissed off 'anti-drug' campaigner on a bad day??..all of these are MORE likely than this case...

Why would someone cut pills with strychnine?
Well, the urban myth I grew up with, was that strychnine was hallucinogenic in small quantities. Hence all that guff about acid being laced with strychnine.
Strychnine in rat poison. I don't know. I always thought the main compound (can't remember the name) in rat sack stopped the blood from clotting. I know the medical profession uses the same stuff in humans to help prevent blood clots.

Getting caught with Xta in Israel is a huge deal. The sentencing is far far worse there than in most other developed nations. I guess this might encourage some to sell shit pills with no mdma in it to avoid consequences if caught? However, most pills sold there are from Europe and of Xllent quality and dirt cheap compared to here.
