US teen died after drinking caffeine too quickly: Coroner
A 16-year-old American died because he drank several highly caffeinated drinks in less than two hours, coroner Gary Watts said on Monday. The deceased, Davis Allen Cripe, drank a McDonald's latte, a Mountain Dew soda and an energy drink. He died from "caffeine-induced cardiac event causing a probable arrhythmia," Watts said, adding, "This is not a caffeine overdose."
