Haha, I appreciate their honesty.

A British teen who was found collapsed on the landing outside his room at a children's home last August died from using too much spray-on deodorant, the Telegraph reports.

"He sprayed it all over himself and succumbed to the effects of the gas," Kent Online quotes the coroner as saying. A doctor says 16-year-old Thomas Townsend died from "circulation collapse caused by butane gas inhalation." The cause of death came to light at an inquest this week, reports Metro.co.uk.

“He would not take showers but would stand there with a deodorant and spray half the can on him," says the teen's mother. "Then he would spray aftershave to cover up BO."

Police found 42 cans of deodorant, hair spray, and other products in Townsend's room at the children's home near Folkestone, Kent Online reports. His mother says she didn't know her son had so many cans but says he was "a big hoarder."

Teen fatally overdoses on deodorant spray

How a Man Has Gone 12 Years Without Bathing

(Newser) – A live bacteria spray meant to restore skin with healthy microbes erased by obsessive cleaning has at least one weighty endorsement: It's used daily by a guy who hasn't showered in more than 12 years, per CBS Boston. David Whitlock—a chemical engineer who manages not to scare away friends and neighbors—helped found Massachusetts company AOBiome in 2013 after making a surprise discovery about dirt. Soon after a date asked him why her horse rolled in the stuff, Whitlock discovered that ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in dirt converts sweat's urea and ammonia into good bacteria with anti-inflammatory properties. He also guessed AOB lived on the skin of our ancestors before cleaning products were invented, and he began covering his body with a mixture of AOB and water. Not only did his skin look and smell fine, but Whitlock says the mixture did wonders for his mental health, reports Bloomberg.

Now on the market for $49, the odorless Mother Dirt AO+ Mist—to be used twice a day—makes no health claims, per Beta Boston. Clients, including a New York Times writer, say it clears up acne and eczema and eliminates the need for deodorants and moisturizers, but "we need to do clinical trials," Whitlock says. "My biggest fear is the FDA shutting us down if they think we're making false claims." A rep says promoting a bacteria-based product—that isn't harmful even if ingested—is difficult when "we live in a world with Purell on every corner." But humans have "confused clean with sterile." The company recently released $15 live-bacteria shower gel and shampoo and is working to get FDA approval for bacteria treatments of skin conditions and wounds. In the meantime, Whitlock hopes to see his spray take off: "I would like a billion people a day to use this," he says.

It's the British version of fan death. It's just something they print in the papers to avoid embarrassing the family.

What's fan death?

In cases of death by misadventure in Korea, it would be reported that they were suffocated or died of hypothermia by running their fan overnight to preserve the honor of the family.

Wanamingo posted:

Misadventure, in this case, usually means suicide and such.

Fan death is somehow pretty well accepted as a fact over there, with the Korean government even backing the myth.

My understanding is that it's used for situations where a huge risk was taken on voluntarily, like with an accidental risk but with the victim knowingly placing themself in that situation

Haha yeah, best to keep believing that because the truth ranges from "killed self" to "heroin overdose" to "heart attack with a big purple dildo up the butt." Its the catchall for dumb ways to die when either being polite or trying to make the obituary sound a bit more interesting.
