    AbstractThis is a case report of a 22-year-old man, who snorted the content of three capsules of the new designer drug 25C-NBOMe (2-(4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]ethanamine). 1-2 hours after the intake he became unconscious with generalized seizures, so he was intubated prehospitally and brought to the local hospital. At admission he had acute renal failure and was severely metabolic acidotic with potassium 8.6 mmol/l, lactate 28 mmol/l and pH 6.69. Despite maximal therapy he died ten hours after admission. 25C-NBOMe is currently legal in most parts of the world, and fatal intoxication with the drug has not yet been described in Scandinavia.
