13 die in Pakistan after drinking cough syrup suspected of being toxic

Thirteen people have died in a main Pakistani city after drinking cough syrup suspected of being toxic, police said Monday.            

The victims were all drug addicts who apparently drank the cough syrup in an attempt to get high, said police officer Multan Khan.                                      

Khan said they died at various hospitals in the eastern city of Lahore over the past three days. Five other addicts who drank the cough syrup were being treated.                                       

Police arrested the owners of three drug stores where the cough syrup was sold and sent a sample to determine whether it was toxic, said Khan.
