A man has sadly passed away after drinking a beer that is suspected to have contained methamphetamine as he tragically uttered: "I feel like I'm dying". Aiden Sagala, 21, reportedly sat down with a beer after finishing a day's work but - according to police - the beverage was contaminated and as a result, he began acting "possessed" after drinking it. The incident occurred on March 2 as his sister Angela explained that although he wasn't much of a drinker, he decided to open a beer that his co-worker had given him. Angela told <a href="https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2023/04/the-meth--the-beer-and-the-death-of-an-innocent-21-year-old-.html">Newshub</a> that she dropped Aiden at home as she went off to get dinner, but received a panicked phone call from her partner after her brother consumed the beer.

"I feel like I'm dying," Angela recalled Aiden saying to her as she found him acting "possessed" with a high temperature. "He was shaking and his actions weren’t normal. He was sitting here in the lounge, he dropped to the ground and that’s when his episode happened. An episode we later found out wasn’t a seizure but that he had meth in his system," Angela said. Angela administered CPR to her brother while they waited for an ambulance to arrive but the 21-year-old sadly lost his life five days later in Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand.

"Maybe if he was sick it would have been a little bit easier, but because this was sudden and accidental it’s been a really hard pill to swallow." Aiden's death sparked an investigation that resulted in pallets of drug-laced beer and kombucha being seized, with police stating they found 723lbs of methamphetamine. Police raided a warehouse on March 16 and seized pallets of Honey Bear House Beer, which they stated were laced with the drug. Officials have confirmed that Aiden had no involvement in the importation or distribution of the drugs. The 21-year-old's tragic death meant others did not consume the contaminated beer. His sister has paid tribute to him. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263204936" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/04/CPXEF6-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2412" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Police found 723lbs of meth following the investigation into Aiden's death (stock photo).

If it weren’t for Aiden, this wouldn’t have been out in public and the police wouldn’t have known the alcohol had meth in it," Angela said. "We are devastated that he’s gone but he saved our lives and I will always remember that and the memories that we shared and had with him." <h6>Featured image credit: Imageplotter / Alamy</h6>
