A 16-year-old South Carolina teen died after intaking an excessive amount of caffeine, the coroner ruled on Monday.
Davis Allen Cripe collapsed at Spring Hill High School on April 26 and died at the hospital. Cripe had consumed a large diet Mountain Dew, a latte and an energy drink before his heart “fell out of rhythm,” according to the Associated Press.
Richland County Coroner Gary Watts told Wltx 19, “We lost Davis from a totally legal substance.”
Watts said the final cause of death was determined to be due to a caffeine-induced cardiac event causing a probable arrhythmia, according to ABC Columbia.

The union blinked -- but for the right reasons.
In a surprising reversal, Teamsters members agreed Sunday morning to the "last, best and final" offer from studios, averting a strike by Hollywood transportation workers and others.

Are you feeling the pinch of the poor economy? The R.H.O.C. ladies are right there with you … only they’re coping with it a tad bit differently.
Looks like the terrible economy is hitting everyone, even Orange County’s elite, who have made to make some – er – difficult sacrifices and cutbacks to their posh lifestyles.
Fans of the Real Housewives of Orange County can definitely identify with their favorite California girls this season, because the ladies have realized how tough pinching pennies can really be. Tamra Barney broke down when she had to put her house up for sale, while Lynne Curtin also got sad when she had to move out of her posh Laguna Beach abode … and into a smaller (yet still gorgeous) place. Jeana Keough even shopped at (gasp!) budget friendly H&M instead of high-end boutiques.
“Downsizing is taking place, there’s no doubt about that,...
