Shouldn't we add this basic information to the article, in an effort to be more properly encyclopedic?

The atomoxetine test, forensic toxicologist Michael Lamb said, revealed there were 13 ng/mL (nanongrams per mililiter) of ketamine in McClain's blood the night of his arrest. Other panel testing that was performed to test for synthetic cannabinoids, bath salts, LSD, psilocybin, amphetamines, benzodiazepines or cocaine, as well as fentanyl did not detect any levels of these drugs within his system the night of his encounter with police, he said.

This has been discussed to death, see the Archives. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 15:27, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description says the officers were recreating the scene where he ‘died’. Then the article states he was taken off life support? Doesn’t make sense. He didn’t die at the scene according to the article. Cardiac arrest is not dying. Being taken off life support is. Get the facts straight! 74.118.240.8 (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't be rude. We're all volunteers here, a polite correction is better than demands. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 15:56, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
