Police say an NC State student and another man found dead on a fire escape last weekend likely died after overdosing on a plant food commonly known on the street as 'Meow-Meow.'
Ray Ausbon, 21, and Zachary Tigner, 19, were found at the Boylan Apartments at 817 Hillsborough Street Saturday morning.
Raleigh Police spokesperson Jim Sughrue said autopsy results weren't back yet, but the investigation so far points to an overdose of Mephedrone.
It's an amphetamine, which is closely related to an African shrub that people chew for a pick-me-up.
Popular among ravers, Mephedrone's effects are similar to cocaine, meth and ecstasy with symptoms ranging from euphoria and heavy hallucination to more toxic effects.
Officials strongly caution against the inappropriate use of Mephedrone and any other substance which may be harmful to people taking it.
