17Yo Girl Dies After Drinking Soft Drinks

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Let's hope that there will be some follow-up on this by health authorities:

Cambodia News (Banteay Mean Chey Province): According to the General Commissariat of National Police page, on August 17, 2021, at 1:00 pm in Tamang village, Kork Romeat commune, Thmor Pouk district, Chhen Sreymom, a 17-year-old girl died after consuming 2 bottles of soft drinks.
According to the victim's mother, after drinking the 2 bottles of soft drinks, the victim began to have a stomachache, seizure, and vomiting. So, she asked the victim to take 2 capsules of paracetamol without seeking help from the professional or doctors. Unfortunately, not long after the victim suffered from a seizure and died.

The police autopsy confirmed that the girl died from a mixture of seizures and food poisoning. There were no signs of domestic violence on her body.
The body was given back to the family for the funeral. RIP.

Err, WHAT soft drinks?

Public warning?

Product recall?

Anything?

First it was phone chargers killing teenagers and nobody gave a fuck. Now it's soft drinks.

What a country...

Unless the word 'bleach' been accidentally translated into 'soft drinks', this story doesn't seem to make much sense.

Or she may have died of something completely unrelated to soft drinks, but just happened to drink soft drinks before her death so somehow, in a bizarre Khmer logic kind of way, that's been blamed as the cause of death.

Who knows...

What quantity of soft drinks?

Fanta bottle with floor cleaner stored inside? Rice wine in a coke bottle?
