A 16 years old boy who
was enjoying vacations and now preparing for his college that was going to
start after a few weeks died due to the
inhalation of the butane gas.
A teenager who was residing in Kent expired after breathing
the gas from a deodorant that he was
spraying to himself, as per the investigative results. The guy named Thomas
Townsend used to utilize a huge amount of
body spray in order to stay fresh instead
of taking showers, as the Folkestone inquest told.
His fatality occurred last year on August 29, at Red Lodge
in Millfield, Folkestone. Lucy Banyard, a staff member, found his body on the
landing, outside his room at around 6.30pm. Medical assistants were called on to
provide first aid, but they remained
unable to revive him. Police investigative officers afterwards found 42 tins of
body spray products in his room that were
all emptied.

Thomas’s mother Sally Townsend told that the boy was not
habitual of taking the regular showers due to which he used to utilize the
deodorants or body spray around half the can at a time. Then, an aftershave was
used to hide the body odor. His mother also
informed that he was a big collector of these products.
Pathologist Dr. Kareem Aboualfa stated that the death took
place because the butane gas was inhaled
and it circulated throughout the body due to which the boy collapsed. No drugs
or drink had been found in the Thomas's
system. According to the investigation, the boy had no intention of giving any
harm to himself.
As per the statement given by the Coroner Rachel Redman, the
boy scattered a spray all over himself due to which he expired as a result of
the effects of the gas.
