A 12-year old boy in England died after using too much deodorant. Apparently he was using Lynx Vice spray deodorant, not the roll-on type. Reason he died was because it was used in a confined space.

Daniel Hurley was proud of his appearance and was lavish with his use of deodorants and gels, said his father, who had desperately tried to revive him.

Derby Coroner’s Court heard that Daniel’s overuse of Lynx Vice in the confined space of the bathroom of his family’s home caused his heart to fail.

The inquest heard his exposure to solvents in the deodorant had led to his cardiac arrhythmia. He died in hospital five days later.

His father, Robert, told the inquest: “He was always putting gel on his hair and spraying deodorant and it was quite common for him to spray his clothing as well.”

He should’ve kept his door opened.

I think this is a warning to everyone especially those who likes to use excessive amounts of perfume or spray-on products, never use them in confined spaces. Leave the door or window open.
