NEW OF THE WEIRD (yet very sad)

A 12-year-old boy has died after using too much deodrant in the U.K. Pre-teen Daniel Hurley (pictured here) evidently collapsed in his family bathroom after spraying too much deodrant into the air. He died less than a week later.

Hurley died from abnormal heart rhythms, caused by solvents in the Lynx Vice spray. Unilever, which makes Lynx, warns on cans about over-spraying and suggests that you use the product in a "well ventilated area."

Daniel's dad said he always cared about his appearance, and he said his son was "lavish" in his use of deodrants and gels.

"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 said.

On the day of the incident, Mr. Hurley said Daniel collapsed but recovered immediately. He said his son was a "fit and healthy young man".

The doctor who did the boy's autopsy said:

"There is a very reasonable assumption that the passive inhalation of the solvent almost certainly led to his death."

And added: "I do not know how many people read the warnings about exposure awareness. People need to know about the risks that these products have on the cardiovascular system."
