China Man Dies After Drinking 1.5 Liters of Coca-Cola in 10 Minutes
A young man in China died after consuming approximately 1.5 liters of Coca-Cola in just 10 minutes, according to reports.
The incident occurred during a heat wave when the 22-year-old tried to quench his thirst and cool off.
About six hours later, he began experiencing severe pain and significant abdominal bloating, prompting hospitalization in Beijing.
Doctors observed a rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and rapid breathing, with a CT scan revealing gas buildup in the intestinal walls and portal vein.
The doctors attributed this to reduced oxygen supply to the liver and ischemic liver injury, also known as 'shock liver.'
