Coroner Links Actor Richard Norton's Death to Peptide Injection

Australian actor and martial artist Richard Norton died after suffering cardiac arrest in Melbourne on March 30, 2025. He was 75. A Melbourne coroner found that an injection of unapproved peptides caused a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis, which led to the cardiac arrest. The peptides had reportedly been prescribed for anti-ageing treatment, but Norton was found to have taken more than the prescribed dose. Norton was known for his long career in martial arts and film, working with stars including Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Margot Robbie and Liam Neeson. He is survived by his wife, actress Judy Green.
