UK Woman, aged 28: Murdered in Laos (methanol poisoning)

[arista]

[British lawyer Simone White has
become the fifth tourist to have
died in a suspected mass poisoning
in Laos, south-east Asia.

The UK's Foreign Office confirmed
the 28-year-old's death
on Thursday, saying: "We are supporting
the family of a British woman who
has died in Laos, and we are in contact
with the local authorities."

It comes after the family of
19-year-old Australian national
Bianca Jones confirmed her
death earlier on the same day.

Hours earlier, the US State Department
told the media that an American
man died in the tourist town of Vang Vieng.

Two Danish women, aged 19 and 20,
also died last week in Laos, Danish
authorities confirmed,
declining to share more due to
confidentiality concerns.

The deaths remain under police investigation,
but news reports and testimonies online
from other tourists suggest they may
have consumed drinks laced with methanol,
a deadly substance often found
in bootleg alcohol.]

Vang Vieng, of course ive been there.

tubing down the river drunk is very dangerous but fun activity.
made extra dangerous if there is methanol in your drink.

Seems kinda odd that the three dead young women I’ve seen were all extremely attractive ..

Someone stole my flip flops on vang vieng. Because I had to leave them at the front door of the hotel. Anyway I stole someone else’s and went out partying and saw my flip flops on some dirty American. I told him, they’re mine! And made him give me them back!what a nutter, was probs high on methenol or something

The Australian girl who has died is the daughter of my friends brother who lives in Melbourne. Her and her friend were travelling. Her friend is in intensive care. They are flying the girl who has died home :sad:

…ahhhhh, I’m so sorry for your friend’s family, Annie…it may not have been someone that you directly knew but the impact on their life and what they’re going through right now is not without an impact on you as well, is it…it really brings these things into the personal attachment of not being news stories but a real personal insight into the lives that are torn open…I’m so sorry for the loss for your friends and for how you will be feeling as well…:hug:…

It will probably go down as manslaughter, so be prepared to edit the title arista
