Vacationer (†19) dies after cocktail, girlfriend in mortal danger!
Laos (Thailand) - It was supposed to be an unforgettable trip after graduation, but for two friends from Melbourne, their trip abroad turned into a nightmare.
The two 19-year-old teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles were taken to hospital after drinking poisoned alcohol in a bar.
While Holly is still fighting for her life, Bianca died as a result of the cocktail, reports the Daily Mail.
Bianca is the fourth person to die after drinks were apparently mixed with methanol in the popular party town of Vang Vieng.
Previously, a 56-year-old US citizen and two young women from Denmark also died from methanol poisoning.
Manager is not aware of any guilt after the poisoning incident
The manager of the bar, Duong Duc Toan, who had served the two girls the vodka, is convinced that neither he nor his staff had contaminated the drinks.
He explained that he had bought the alcohol from a certified dealer. To prove that the vodka was safe, he even drank from the bottle.
The local police have started an investigation into the poisoning incident.
