New Zealander dies after buying meds from India online. . .

After illegally buying anti-depressants online, a 43-year old man died of an overdose.

While all mail entering New Zealand goes through customs, medications are reaching the hands of consumers who may or may not know the dangers of taking the product. "I think this is going to happen more and more," the coroner involved in the case says.
