level of consciousness.

to continue to breathe.
'There is a combination of a depressed level of consciousness and a depression in her ability to breathe adequately.
'That in turn can lead to cardiac failure resulting in the accumulation of fluid in the
lungs.'

a person dying by '60 per cent upwards.'

type-drug, as I say in this context tramadol, and
pregabalin in the blood.

death.

practitioner would be prescribed for therapeutic use of the drug.'
