14 Year Old Los Angeles Girl Dead From Inhalant Abuse

Via the NY Daily News:


A 14 year old honor student from Porter Ranch, California is dead after huffing from a can of computer duster.

The girl’s younger sibling found her “in bed with her nostrils taped shut and a can of computer duster still clinging to her mouth.” The media reports indicate she died from cardiac arrest.

Her mom notes "I'm positive my daughter didn't realize it had the potential to kill her” and she stated that while they had addressed substance abuse with all three of their teenage daughters, they were “taken off guard” by the issue of inhalants. They are now encouraging other parents to talk to their children about how dangerous inhalants can be.
