Two teenagers from Melbourne’s bayside suburbs are on life support in hospitals in Thailand after suspected methanol poisoning.
A colleague of one of two Melbourne teenagers on life support in hospitals in Thailand after a suspected mass poisoning has told of their concern for the young woman described as an “absolute star” and a “bundle of joy”.
Bowles was on a gap year after finishing her VCE last year. She wanted to work, save money and travel, her manager at the cafe said.A worker at the Nana Backpacker Hostel in Vang Vieng, who did not want to be named, confirmed the Australian women checked in on November 9 and went out on the evening of November 11 with a group of other young people, and returned in the early hours of the following morning.
Since poisoning often occurs in the context of drinking alcohol, the early symptoms may go unnoticed because they may closely resemble intoxication at first. Drinking between 25 and 90 millilitres of methanol can be fatal.
