D. M. Turner

D.M. Turner (born Joseph Vivian; 5 October 1962 - 31 December 1996) was an author, psychedelic researcher and psychonaut who wrote two books on psychoactives and entheogens. His more prominent book, The Essential Psychedelic Guide was the first of its kind and contains Turner's views on the subjective effects of various psychoactive and hallucinogenic mind-altering substances.

His other book, Salvinorin addressed salvinorin.

Turner died on New Year's Eve 1996 after injecting an unknown quantity of ketamine while in a bathtub^[1]. It is believed that he drowned while incapacitated by the effects of the drug.
