British Student Dies After Drinking Red Bull

After drinking at least four cans of Red Bull at a nightclub, 21-year-old Chloe Leach collapsed and died from cardiac arrhythmia. It is thought that her arrhythmia was worsened by the high level of caffeine present in her body from the energy drinks.

Coroner Geoffery Saul ruled out drug use and excessive drinking as causes of death and said none of her decisions “reflected badly” on her. While not officially diagnosed, Leech likely had QT syndrome which affects the heart’s electric activity.

Chloe Leach also suffered from epilepsy. According to Tina Leach, her daughter regularly took her epilepsy medication and monitored with her caffeine consumption. “She would drink Red Bull occasionally and was aware it contained caffeine,” Tina said.

Chinese Earthquake May Have Been Man-Made

Scientists say the 7.9 earthquake responsible for killing more than 80,000 people in China last May could have been triggered by the enormous Zipingpu dam. The dam is in close proximity to the fault line and just 3 miles from the Sichuan quake site.

Christian Klose of the Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory said the sudden shift of the 315 million tonnes of water the dam held increased the natural stress from tectonic movement by 25x, causing a rupture that lead to the quake.

Fan Xaio, chief engineer of the Sichuan Geology and Mineral Bureau in Chengdu, opposed the construction of Zipingpu and had warned the Chinese government that dams like Zipingpu were dangerous when built in seismically active areas to no avail.

Your chance to own 867-5309!

Spencer Potter, a 28-year-old DJ from Weehawken, NJ is selling the famous 867-5309 phone number along with his business on eBay. As of Monday morning bids had reached $5,100. The number was originally made famous in a song by Tommy Tutone.

Potter claims that he has received about 40 calls a day since plugging in the phone. Potter also met a woman by answering the phone. The woman used to give the number out as a fake and one day decided to call to see who was receiving the calls.

Normally phone numbers cannot be sold but since the auction includes the sale of the DJ business Vonage, the company that assigned the number, has allowed the sale to take place. Potter hopes to make at least $40,000 from the sale.

11-Year-Old Shoots and Kills 7-Year-Old

An 11-year-old boy from Avondale, OH, shot and killed 7-year-old neighbor Earl Robinson on Friday. Police arriving to the scene found Earl’s body and took the shooter into custody. Four children and one adult were home at the time of the shooting.

The boy was released shortly later by police due to “severe physical disabilities” and need for medical care. Prosecutor Joe Deters isn’t sure if criminal charges will be filed against the boy, gun owner or adult who was present during the shooting.

Sgt. Gary Conner of the Cincinnati Homicide Unit said the boy was “open and frank” and “honest.” While police are currently investigating where the boy got the weapon, Conner believes this case is just another example of a “kid playing with a gun.”

Some very honest men working on a steel plant in Berlin struck lucky with a safe and could have bagged themselves a neat little package of 100,000 Euros (around $128,500USD) when employees of ‘Postbank’ dumped a safe.

An employee at the German bank had completely forgotten to grab the cash before sending it to the local dump site.

Bank spokesman Ralf Palm laid the blame and responsibility for the money being left in the safe on one worker, due to “the carelessness of an employee when a branch office moved in December.”
