Boy dies from deodorant spray

A 12-year-old English boy collapsed and died from heart problems after spraying too much deodorant in the family bathroom.

Daniel Hurley was overcome by the solvents in the can and collapsed in the bath.

He died five days later in hospital.

An inquest heard that Daniel died from cardiac arrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythms, caused by exposure to solvents in the Lynx Vice spray.

Unilever, which makes Lynx, warns on the cans against over-spraying and says the product must be used in well-ventilated places.

A coroner said people should read the warnings and be aware of the dangers of the products they are using.
