From KBOI 2 News (July 9):
New information suggests a recent drowning victim huffed refrigerant before the accident. Last week, locals pulled an unconscious boy from a pond after he was seen floating in the water. The teen was swimming with a friend when he lost consciousness. Neither the first responders or emergency technicians were able to revive the young man.
Teens are aware peers abuse household products to get high. "I've done it with whipped cream cans..." one teen confesses. Another teen admitted to feeling peer pressure to use saying"...it's like when you're with friends and they're doing it, so you do it."
It is unclear if the inhalants caused or contributed to the 15-year old's death. It is clear that the town's greatest danger may be in the home, not outside.
