Pharmacist is left fighting for his life after drinking METH disguised in a wine bottle

A pharmacist remains in a coma in hospital after accidently drinking the drug methylamphetamine, which was bizarrely disguised in a wine bottle. 

Hans Morkos, 43, collapsed on the floor of the Annandale Pharmacy in Sydney’s inner-west on January 31 soon after consuming the toxic drug in liquid form.

The father-of-two has been in a serious condition at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Camperdown ever since.

At this stage, there have been no charges in relation to the drugs Mr Morkos ingested.

It is believed Mr Morkos was unaware the wine bottles were laced with the deadly and highly addictive drug, also known as ice.

Why the quantity of meth was placed in the wine bottle is also unknown. 

Methylamphetamine is often imported from overseas in liquid form, and then turned into the crystallised variety.

Mr Morkos’ family and friends gathered at St Mary and St Mina Coptic Orthodox Cathedral at Bexley in Sydney’s south last week for a prayer vigil, according to a Facebook post.

In a statement, a NSW Police spokesperson said officers were aware of Mr Morkos’ ‘medical episode’ at work late last month.

‘The man was located by a 37-year-old woman, who contacted NSW Ambulance paramedics. He was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, where he remains in an induced coma,’ a NSW Police spokeswoman said.

‘An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the man’s injuries is currently underway.’ 

According to his Instagram page, Mr Morkos is a qualified compounding pharmacist, and has his own lab to manufacture medicine. 

He also reportedly owns three pharmacies.
