A man’s girlfriend called 911 when he started having a seizure after consuming an “organically harvested” botanical product sold at a local smoke shop, his family’s attorneys said.
Matthew Torres was living in Beavercreek with his longtime girlfriend Meghan Gates and enjoyed creating hand-crafted decor items he would share with family and friends.
The Clackamas County Medical Examiner’s Office determined his cause of death as “toxic effects of mitragynine,” according to the lawsuit, which calls this a “kratom overdose.”
