After a graduation celebration held at the tavern (pub, bar). The number was updated to 22 after this article was published. One heartbroken, shocked mother said that her son was a good respectful boy. "Local newspaper DispatchLive reported on its website: "Bodies are lying strewn across tables, chairs and on the floor, with no obvious signs of injury." I wonder if it was alcohol poisoning and will try to keep up with the updates as to cause of death. such a tragedy! :cry: I really hate hearing/reading the news that young people have lost their lives.

Sad for sure , but what the hell was a fourteen yr/old doing in a tavern/bar ?

Alcohol poisoning ? Were they all drinking the same thing ? Food ? same question , were they all eating the same thing ?

22 of them at the same time ?? Strange for sure . Were there any others known to be in the bar and not dead ?

This survivor alleges that when it got overcrowded, people were asked to leave. When they did not, Security sprayed a substance into the crowd, suffocating them.


I read the article, why did the "sprayer" & the "bouncer" not pass-out/die ?

I mean if you see a guy in a gas mask spraying something ....... it's time to leave. If they did not have on a mask , again ... why were they not affected ?
 
The cause has now been announced.......Carbon Monoxide fumes from a malfunctioning space heater. Remember that this is the winter season in the southern hemisphere. JimB.

I'm not trying to be a conspiracy nut , but ..... So there was no one spraying anything ? That was just a lie put out by ? As I everyone said in general this is just sad ..... but since it is done, I hope it was a faulty furnace ....... I would hate to think [someone] doing this to innocent people.

Thank you for the information.
 
It is too bad they didn't have a carbon monoxide detector/alarm. The police seem to think adults would have noticed the problem but I'm not sure they would because I remember in the past whole families would be found dead from carbon monoxide so it seems like adults don't necessary realize the problem in time either.

"They died as they danced," Police Minister Bheki Cele said. "They dance, fall, and die. Literally."

"Others would just feel dizzy, sleep on the sofa, (and) die. It tells you the story that they were all kids because somebody should have taken note."
 
How sad. They should tear that place down and the owner should face charges; at least for underage drinking. Some reports said the customers there were ages 13 to 17.
Now that the actual cause of death had been established as Carbon Monoxide poisoning from a malfunctioning propane furnace........Do you think you might want to rethink your statement ? A second point, in other countries the laws about alcohol and who can drink are different than in your country. JimB.

It seems the young lady interviewed in that article was only
conjecturing....who knows?

Really ? ....Why should the owner be charged ? How was he to know that the heater was faulty ? How bout we charge the heater company ? And how bout we charge the parents of the under 18's for child endangering ? Or ? what ever may be appropriate ?

I would support charging the owner for underage serving ....... I would think ??? a 13 yr/old would be obvious ?

The above stated though ..... I remember a motel owner in Florida thinking my half sister and i were a married couple @ the time I was 13 & she 16 .
At that time she was & still is tiny @ 4'11" and i was about 5'9"-5'10". So I guess the mistake can be maid ?...... although i think it's stupid.
