A Chinese man drank a huge amount of Coca-Cola in 10 minutes. Now, he has allegedly passed away from a deadly gas buildup.
The incident happened when the 22 year-old attempted to stay hydrated by consuming a 1.5-liter bottle of coke.
He began to have severe stomach pains six hours later, as his stomach began to swell.
When he took himself to a medical facility, his heart rate was elevated, his breathing was labored, and his blood pressure was low. A CT scan revealed problems with his intestinal walls and portal vein which carries blood to the liver.
This is said to have sent his liver into shock, as oxygen could not get to that organ.
After 18 hours of trying to provide medicine and attempting to release all of the gas from his body, he died.
The man had no underlying health issues, but other causes of his death are being looked into, such as a bacterial infection.
