Australian actor Richard Norton<\/a> reportedly admitted to taking double his prescribed dose of peptides before his death … despite a nurse warning him to cut back before things took a deadly turn.<\/p>\n

According to a coroner’s report obtained by People<\/a>, Norton requested a replacement vial after claiming he’d broken his original … and admitted he’d been doubling up on his injections.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The “Mad Max” actor had only recently started peptide therapy two weeks before his death to combat fatigue, shoulder pain and muscle loss … and initially told his doctor the treatment was working.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He was given a replacement and two additional peptides … but the nurse instructed him to stick to the prescribed amount.<\/p>\n

Things took a tragic turn when Norton injected himself with a second dose one evening … suddenly becoming hot and flushed before collapsing in front of his wife, Judy Green.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Green called for help and performed CPR until paramedics arrived … but Norton suffered cardiac arrest and died at the hospital.<\/p>\n

As TMZ previously reported … Norton’s March 2025 death<\/a> at 75 was linked<\/a> to the experimental peptide injections, which are not approved for human use by major regulators.<\/p>\n

It’s believed to be the first death in Australia linked to peptides.<\/p>\n

Richard appeared in more than 70 films and worked alongside Chuck Norris<\/a> and Jackie Chan<\/a> during his decades-long Hollywood career … while also lending his stunt expertise to “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Suicide Squad.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Richard Norton Warned About Peptides Before Deadly Dose Published October 30, 2026 11:52 AM PDT Australian actor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":952258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75],"class_list":["post-952257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=952257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/952258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=952257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=952257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=952257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
