Brown pill, clear capsule bring grief to VELD party

As they promised, Toronto police have updated their search and public appeal for the unknown drugs or substances that caused so much grief at the VELD concert over the weekend. Two people are dead and 13 others were hospitalized after ingesting what cops say was one or more of two items — a small brown pill and a small clear capsule containing a white substance. They had earlier urged anyone who may have bought the drug to turn it over to authorities so experts can analyze the substance. Det. Sgt. Peter Trimble says several people have since turned over the drugs. George Mammoliti (Ward 7) has said the city should consider banning Electronic Dance Music (EDM) events on public property. CP24
