there are at least two deaths that have been recorded in the medical literature where harmaline and 5-MeO-DMT have been found in autopsies. The first case relates to an individual who died after an ayahuasca session and when an autopsy was conducted, 5-MeO-DMT was detected. It is therefore possible that the individual had self-administered a compound containing 5-MeO-DMT at the end of the ayahuasca session, which produced a deadly effect.[5] The second is a case where the individual combined 5-MeO-DMT with harmaline in an attempt to reproduce the effects of ayahuasca.[6]
