Parents urged to warn their children about dangers of energy drinks after teen tragically died from caffeine overdose

A coronor has concluded that 16-year-old American student Davis Cripe died of heart failure caused by drinking too much caffeine

The brokenhearted father of teenager Davis Cripe - who suffered heart failure after drinking too much caffeine - has urged parents to talk to their children about the dangers of energy drinks.

Davis - who was described as 'perfectly healthy' - collapsed in his South Carolina classroom last month after drinking a large Mountain Dew, a latte and an energy drink within two hours.

So the coroner actually determined it was a caffeine overdose; so this is not mere conjecture.
