Daniel Hurley, from Sandiacre, Derbyshire (http://indepth.news.sky.com/InDepth/topic/Derbyshire), was found collapsed in his bathroom by his father Robert Hurley after using Lynx Vice deodorant.

Derby Coroner's Court heard that use of the spray in a confined space led to Daniel suffering a cardiac arrhythmia.


Mr Hurley tried to revive his son but he died at the Queen's Medical Centre (http://www.qmc.nhs.uk/) in Nottingham on January 12, five days after he was found.

RIP. It happened in January and I remember an assembly on him as he was in my school 2 years below me. At the time they just said he was a 'Healthy and normal boy' and they didn't mention how he died, he moved to the school not too long before, and he was allegedly rather quiet.

RIP, but surely a 12 year old doesn't need Lynx :S

Suppose it makes you think about things... RIP.

People just use it to smell nice nowadays.

Id rather use a fragrance and spray it around my neck and collar to smell nice :)

I agree, you don't expect that to happen. You just think the warnings on the cans are just to get rid of Trading Standards etc..

That's terrible :(

That's quite bad, you wouldn't think a can of deodorant would have that much of an effect on a 12 year. Imagine how dangerous is must be around younger children :S

Well Im hoping children younger then 10 years old don't use it (but they probably do) as it can most likely cause problems :( Does really make you think about it to be honest.

Apparently he put tonnes of it on and the fumes made his heart stop or something - R.I.P.

I'm never using deodrant again

Good I don't want you to die, now log on MSN.

I bet he was messing around with it as people do now, still a shame he died though.

Parents should probably only let kids use roll-ons, really. But then again, 12 isn't really too young. Isn't that Year 7/8?

i don't see why kids under like teenagers really need to use it. You don't sweat unless your really unfit say doing like a race or something but still sweat doesn't smell while its liquid it does when its dry and stail :P

People use it to smell nice and as you're going through puberty you tend to get bio, but you haven't hit puberty yet Ross so yeah.

^ Lol.

Erm wouldn't it be safe to assume he was in a small space (as I think it says) and spraying like half the can? I remember back at school in the PE changing rooms, lads would spray bucket loads of the stuff! Sad story however.

[Gasm]

That's sad really, but he must have misused it and literally used loads to have died from it.

[Hiro]

You're meant to use all sprays in well ventalated areas :S
His own fault?
