Man Dies After Drinking Over 1-Liter Of Coke In A Hot Day
MAN DIES AFTER DRINKING COKE – A young man from Beijing, China, has died after gulping down 1.5L of coke in 10 minutes.
According to reports, the man’s name was not disclosed. Furthermore, he was merely 22-years-old. Authorities stated that he quickly finished the coke bottle in an attempt to keep himself hydrated.
All seemed fine at first. However, after 6 hours, he rushed himself to the hospital due to severe stomach pain. Additionally, reports from Inquirer said his stomach got swollen.
Along with this, his heart rate was elevated, had low blood pressure, and was hyperventilating. But, doctors noted that the man had no underlying health conditions.
Meanwhile, the doctors said he suffered from a gas buildup in his body due to gulping down 1.5L of coke in a short period of time. As per the report, the gas buildup started in his intestines. Afterward, the gas traveled into his liver.
Afterward, this caused him to go into hepatic ischemia or “shock liver”. Still, doctors tried their best to save the man. They attempted to release the gas in his digestive system in order to preserve his organs using medication.
Unfortunately, the damage to his liver was already severe and the man didn’t make it. Now, doctors are debating the cause of the man’s death. One British professor who got wind of the incident argued that it was “very unlikely” that the man died due to the soft drink.
Instead, he speculated that the man might have died due to a bacterial infection. But for now, official reports from Chinese authorities say the death was due to liver damage.
