The Lehigh County Coroner's Office reports that the 29 year old man found floating in a shallow creek in April did not die from drowning- but from huffing. Toxicology tests (which can can take anywhere from 8 to 24 weeks to complete) came back positive for difluoroethane, a chemical commonly found in computer duster. The death was ruled as an accident-caused by complications from huffing.Sadly, just yesterday we posted a story from this same paper about four 17-year old teens who were injured when their car veered off the road. The driver had been huffing 'aerosol.'
