Speaking at the time, one neighbour said: "There were nine ambulances at one point, as well as police and fire crews.

"Firemen wearing hazmat suits and oxygen canisters were going in and out

Bloody hell

I can understand the initial overreaction. If first responders don't know what caused the death, they might be worried of CO leaks or another lethal gas

I wonder if he was from SS

Whats bio hazard emgergency mean guys

It means that because there was a chemical involved it was treated as a bio hazard emergency.
Firefighters in chemical deterrent suits and so on.
Worries me they might do that when I CTB.

Man who swallowed toxic substance could have lived but for communication breakdown

Man who took his own life after taking a toxic substance might have lived had there not been a communication breakdown, an inquest has heard.

He's the one who called emergency, he changed his mind. They could have saved him, but for a major communication fuckup. I hope he was at peace with his decision and he merely panicked in the moment, rather than really regretting his attempt and wanting to really be saved.

Oh that last part is sad.

my main concern with the aftermath of SN is how to keep my cat safe.

It's unusual that local press mentioned the substance. However it's not unusual that they got the name wrong.
