Simone White's death was reported hours after that of Melbourne woman Bianca Jones.
An UK woman has died in Laos, becoming the fifth fatality linked to a suspected spate of poisonings from methanol-tainted alcohol., who had been on life support for days.
"We also take this moment to say that we're thinking of Bianca's friend Holly Bowles who is fighting for her life." The US State Department confirmed that an American had also died in Vang Vieng, and Denmark's Foreign Ministry said two of its citizens had also died in "the incident in Laos," but neither would comment directly on a link to the methanol poisoning that killed Jones.
"We want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming support, love, and prayers we've received from across Australia." Landlocked Laos is one of Southeast Asia's poorest nations and a popular tourist destination. Vang Vieng is particularly popular among backpackers seeking partying and adventure sports.
