Coroner seeks peptide curbs after Australian actor Richard Norton's death

A Victorian coroner has urged Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration to review peptides after finding that actor and stuntman Richard Norton, 75, suffered a cardiac arrest in March 2025 after injecting prescribed but unapproved CJC1295 and ipamorelin. Coroner David Ryan suggested moving such peptides to a schedule limiting them to clinical trials, saying their benefits and risks remain uncertain.
