A man has been sentenced to 18 months in jail with another 18 months of conditional supervision after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the high-profile overdose death of a 14-year-old boy in Metro Vancouver.

Justice Kathleen Ker says Carson Crimeni died of acute intoxication from an “exceedingly high” dosage of the drug MDMA sold to him by the man, who cannot be named because he was a youth at the time of the crime on Aug. 7, 2019.
