      Someone just supplied me with an independent translation. Below is   
   that one, plus the other, paragraph by paragraph. Pretty much the same.   
   Curious that this news report indeed uses the term "this shit" to refer   
   to DXM. Goes along with the wholly inaccurate "nerve poison" part, and   
   shows an anti-drug bias.   
      
      According to a source, likely the person who died obtained pure DXM   
   powder from a chemical supplier which I won't reveal here. Looks like   
   Lars Ask of Social Services found my website. "But on international web   
   pages they have warned for one death after another around the world..."   
   I'm the only one that documents DXM deaths. Unless there is a follow-up   
   story, the full details may not be known. Apparently they are assuming   
   what the friend who was with him is true. Which is that the deceased and   
   his friend were taking DXM, possibly with other drugs. That's all kinds   
   of vague.

   THE POLICE WARNS ABOUT NEW DRUG   
      
   The social care and the police in Nykoping warns youth and parents in   
   the whole of Sweden about a new lethal preparation, DXM, which seems   
   to have claimed its first victim, a 23 year old from the city.

   The preparation is a nerve toxic sold on Internet, and youth are   
   swindled that it has the same effect as the rave drug ectasy, namely the   
   energy rewarding elatedness which makes youth lasting through a whole   
   night of dancing.

   However, DXM does not have that effect but is a hallucinogenus drug,   
   which like LSD can cause severe hallucinations. If DXM also is used   
   together with alcohol and psychotropic drugs, it has a high toxic effect   
   which can quickly cause death.   
      
   It was probably what happened to a 23 year old man from Nykoping during   
   the night to Tuesday (19 August). The 23 year old took the preparation   
   together with a friend in their summer cottage outside Nykoping. On the   
   Tuesday morning, the 23 year old was lifeless, and his friend contacted   
   the police. When the police arrived to the cottage, they could only   
   acknowledge the death of the 23 year old.

   - He and his friend had ordered DXM on Internet. It was the deceased   
     23 year old who had the knowledge to surf on Internet, communicate   
     with others and get in touch with the preparation. This is news to   
     us in the social care. We have not found this preparation before.   
     But on international web pages they have warned for one death after   
     another around the world, says Lars Ask, manager for the social   
     care abuse unit in Nyköping.

   - This is a very alarming development on the drug front. If DXM would   
     spread among youth it could get devastating effects. Many youth have   
     a propensity to experiment with new drugs and new preparations, and   
     there are lots of unscrupulous producers who are selling this shit   
     to unsuspicious youth, says Lars Ask.
