Investigators believe the death of a Lake Macquarie man, discovered in a Booragul residence on Christmas Day, may be attributable to synthetic drug use.
Police initially suspected foul play, after they discovered the
47 year old's body covered in wounds and
bruises.
The possibility of synthetic drug use was introduced after
the man's friends revealed he had complained about feeling increasingly
hot and itchy after taking a substance on Christmas Eve.
The incident is currently under review.
