BANGKOK: -- The death earlier this year in Thailand of two sisters from Quebec was caused by drinking a cocktail that contained the insect repellent DEET, an autopsy concluded.

Results of the autopsy at a Bangkok hospital have not been publicly released, but they were shown to reporters for CBC's French-language news network.

According to the report, 20-year-old Audrey and Noémi Bélanger, 25, had DEET in their bodies that they had ingested.

Though the chemical is a potentially neurotoxic mosquito repellent, it is used as an ingredient in a euphoria-inducing cocktail that is popular among youth in Thailand. The drink contains cough syrup, Coke, DEET and ground up kratom leaves, which are a mild narcotic indigenous to Thailand.

It is thought that an overdose of DEET was accidentally mixed into the young women's drinks.

They had just arrived on the Thai island of Phi Phi and were last seen partying with two Brazilian friends in the early morning of June 13. Forty-eight hours later, when staff at their hotel hadn't seen them emerge from their room, a receptionist called police. [more...]

DEET kan de spore i næsten alle turister dernede, da det bruges i et meget populært myggemiddel.

DEET er ikke godkendt til brug i myggemidler i Danmark, men mange danskere køber de effektive sprays og cremer indeholdende DEET, når de rejser i f.eks. Sverige eller Thailand, hvor midlerne med DEET er populære

็Helt symptomatisk at Thailand forsøger at lægge låget på af angst for negativ omtale og kun frigiver resultaterne til de Canadiske nyheder, i den naive tro at kun de fransktalende Canadiere får del i oplysningerne .

The drink contains cough syrup, Coke, DEET and ground up kratom leaves, which are a mild narcotic indigenous to Thailand.


Hmm... Nogen herinde, som har prøvet ??

---

Øh jeg har sgu prøvet meget i mit liv, men DEET nej, kun udvendigt i cremeform, meget effektivt og bedre end spray

Når det så er sagt, er det jo lidt uhyggeligt hvis man ikke ved hvad man indtager. Næste gang bør jeg nok sikre mig at der ikke er DEET i min Kamikaze Bucket, når jeg er nede på "flipper" øen.

Ja, det er nok mere sikkert at holde sig til det med kapsler på.....

Selvom dødsårsagen blev offentligggordt for få dage siden til et Canadisk nyhedsteam....
Virker som om TAT (Tourism Authirity of Thailand) har været inde og lagt l[åget på.......



PHUKET: -- A spokesperson at the forensic laboratory at Ramathibodi Hospital in Bangkok today declined to confirm or deny reports that insecticide containing DEET had been identified as the cause of death of Audrey and Noemi Belanger.

The sisters, Audrey, age 20, and Noemi, 25, from Quebec, Canada, were found dead in their hotel room on Phi Phi Island on June 15. Police initially suspected food poisoning.

The spokesperson at the forensic laboratory at Ramathibodi Hospital, which conducted the autopsies on the bodies of the two women, today confirmed that she had heard of the reports identifying DEET as the possible poison that killed the two women.

However, she declined to comment, citing a request from the Belanger family to not publicly reveal any details of the case.

“I am aware that insecticide was named as the cause, but we have been asked by the Canadian embassy to not to reveal any details regarding the Belanger sisters in order to respect the privacy of the family,” she said.

“I can confirm that the autopsy results have been reported to the embassy and the family,” she added.

However, case investigator Lt Col Jongrak of Krabi City Police confirmed to the Gazette, “The case is not yet closed. We are continuing our investigation. I have been in touch with the Canadian embassy, and we have yet to question the doctor who performed the autopsies.

“We expect to conclude our investigation by the end of the month. At that time I will be able to reveal more details,” he said.

Haha der er vidst lagt låg på en meget vigtig detalje... Ifølge det lokale politi og hvad man ellers hørte på gaden da det skete, så var det altså ikke lige DEET der gjorde at de 2 canadiske piger døde på deres hotelværelse... De havde spist "magic mushrooms", og det var årsagen til at de omkom begge 2. -Ja, jeg var dernede da det skete... 1 uge senere ankom jeg til Koh Tao, og da min båd ankom skyllede der en strandvasker ind *gisp* Death was stalking me....Heldigvis kom jeg da helskindet tilbage til DK igen Så pas på når i går i vandet, og når i tager mistænksomme svampe!...
