GoKawiilCoroner Links Actor Richard Norton's Death to Unapproved Peptide Overdose
A coroner's report has determined that actor and martial artist Richard Norton died last March of sudden cardiac arrest after self-administering double his prescribed dose of the peptides CJC1295 and Ipamorelin. Norton, 75, had begun the peptide therapy under medical supervision just weeks before his death to address fatigue, muscle loss and shoulder pain, and had reportedly been warned by a nurse to stick to his prescribed dosage days before he collapsed. Australian outlet ABC News reported this may be the country's first known death tied to unapproved peptide use.
