美國一男子報警時語出驚人，
稱自己在睡夢中殺死了妻子，
醒來發現妻子躺在地板上，四周都是血。
他認為是自己吃了感冒藥後幹的。
但警方表示他們不相信這是一起偶然事件，
並稱此事還需要進一步調查。
A North Carolina man called emergency services to report that he thinks he may have killed his wife in his sleep.
一名北卡羅來納州男子打電話給急救中心，稱他認為自己可能在睡覺時殺死了自己的妻子。
Matthew Phelps of Raleigh told a 911 dispatcher that he "had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor … I have blood all over me and there’s a bloody knife on the bed."
來自羅利市的Matthew Phelps告訴911接線員，稱自己「做了一個夢，然後打開燈時發現妻子躺在地板上，已經死了。四周都是血，床上還有一把染血的刀。」
"I think I did it," said Mr Phelps during the seven-minute phone call in which he explained he had taken the cold medicine Coricidin for his trouble sleeping.
Phelps在長達7分鐘的通話中說，「我認為這可能是我幹的」。他解釋說由於睡眠不好，他睡覺前吃了一些名叫柯利西錠（Coricidin）的感冒藥。
【 Coricidin is used to alleviate coughs and includes chlorpheniramine for people with high blood pressure. Other versions of Coricidin are used to reduce fever or as an expectorant. Side effects include diarrhea and hallucination.
柯利西錠用於緩解咳嗽，含有氯苯吡胺，適用於高血壓人群。有些柯利西錠還可以減輕發熱、止咳化痰。副作用包括腹瀉和幻覺。
Coricidin is sometimes used in high doses as a recreational drug because it contains the dissociative dextromethorphan. Long-term recreational abuse of dextromethorphan can result in psychosis and erectile dysfunction.
柯利西錠的主要成分之一是右美沙芬，可使人興奮。許多年輕人為了追求刺激感，會過量服用。長期過量服用右美沙芬可導致精神錯亂和性功能障礙。】
