Kindly check her answer to my question.
I just weak. angry


Prior to the administration of Haloperidol these MUST be done.

1. Assessments for hallucination and level of consciousness both initially and throughout the therapy.

2. Obtain a complete health and psychological history especially with regards to cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Include blood studies such as CBC, liver enzymes, and electrolytes and obtain an EKG.

3. Drug history to determine possible drug reaction and allergies.

During therapy tests must be conducted at intervals. A high value (greater than 50 ng/mL) for the test may indicate haloperidol toxicity,

which is marked by:
Vomiting
Elevated blood pressure
Loss of consciousness
Seizures
Stupor
Nausea
Anxiety

A low value (less than 3 ng/mL) for the test may indicate more haloperidol is needed to achieve a therapeutic dose

From what I just wrote above you can tell the man died from haloperidol toxicity.

So you were saying?
