A Strange Death
Not sure where to put this as I don't have a gory picture just a strange and sad story. My friend's adult son died this morning after inhaling 'chemicals' at 3:45am in his garden. I'm stunned but curious to know what kind of chemical is potent enough to kill you outdoors (as opposed to in an unventilated place) he was apparently heating them up. Here is a link to the story: http://www.itv.com/news/london/2015-...t-london-home/   ·  · |

Re: A Strange Death
It's easy if you're intentionally making an effort to inhale them, in order to get high.

Re: A Strange Death
Many household chemicals can cause death, especially if you mix them together. Some can go off noxious gasses that can kill you quickly.

Re: A Strange Death
I'm very curious about the specific chemicals.  Bleach and ammonia is a common poisonous combination made by mixing household chemicals, but I don't think it's too likely he was cleaning at 4am.

Re: A Strange Death
Hydrogen chloride (Bleach, ammonia, water) could quite easily burn the interior of a persons throat if inhaled and result in asphyxia. If then mixed with hydrochloric acid, the resulting fumes would be extremely dangerous. But then you'd have to be an idiot to try that.

Re: A Strange Death
And people using Speedballs (coke + heroin). Not to mention Meth users. It's usually not fine upstanding citizens that end up dead from inhaling poison gas at odd hours. But who knows.  |

Re: A Strange Death
He was a troubled man and yes, I do believe drugs have been involved at some point. From what I've been told he was heating something up.... Can you get a hit from a less than lethal dose of cyanide?!?! As far as I have learnt he possibly died of cyanide poisoning. Awaiting autopsy results and inquest. |

Re: A Strange Death
I was going to say cooking meth as well. Suicide is the other likely explanation. They did stress "came into contact with" as if they were trying to go easy on the speculations.

Re: A Strange Death
Yes, I noticed that too, I thought it a little odd. I guess the post-morten and inquest will reveal all.
