News summary

Denis Preka, a 21-year-old University of Michigan student, died in March 2019 after unknowingly ingesting a high dose of MDMA instead of Adderall, which he requested for studying. His friends recorded his distressing reaction and posted the videos on social media, failing to call for help until it was too late. A Wayne County jury recently awarded Preka's family $75 million in a landmark wrongful death case, the largest single death verdict in Michigan's history. The family plans to use the funds to establish the Denis Preka Foundation, which will promote face-to-face interactions among young people through 'friendship benches' on college campuses. They emphasize the importance of discussing the dangers of drug use and responsible decision-making with children. The case also highlights the need for accountability regarding drug misrepresentation among peers.
