Young man dies at home after nurses give him 21 TIMES too much medication instead of a teaspoonful

A patient died after being given an overdose of SIX bottles of medication - when he was prescribed less than a teaspoon, a report has found. Joshua Gaffney, 22, who should have received less than a third of a 15ml bottle, had 21 times the prescribed amount of the drug clozapine. He died at home in Yeovil, Somerset, shortly after the liquid was administered allegedly in the presence of mental health nurses Amanda Young and Petia Gummer. A post-mortem examination and toxicology report found Joshua died from 'acute clozapine toxicology' after being given 84ml instead of just 4ml.
