Whitby teen dies after mistaking methanol for vodka - chairman - 05-28-2013
Friends and family are mourning a "loving, warm-hearted" Whitby teenager who died after mistakenly drinking methanol at a house party.
The 18-year-old girl was at a Whitby residence on May 17 when a friend offered her vodka he brought from a relative's home, not knowing the blue liquid inside was actually methanol.
The next day, both she and a 17-year-old boy fell ill and were rushed to hospital. The girl slipped into a coma and was pronounced dead Wednesday.
