Second teen dies after drinking racing fuel mixed with soda

Nicole Young, Robertson County Times 6:35 p.m. CST January 26, 2016

A second Greenbrier teen has died and two more received medial treatment after officials said they drank a mixture of Mountain Dew and racing fuel last week.

On Thursday, Jan. 21, authorities were called to the Franklin Farms home of 16-year-old Logan Stephenson, who was found dead in his bed.

Within minutes, they were called to a second home, on Cemetery Road, because the boy’s best friend had begun having seizures, Greenbrier Police Chief K.D. Smith said in an earlier interview with The Times.




Authorities have not released the identity of the second teen, but Smith confirmed Tuesday that the medical examiner’s office had notified his department of the second teen’s death that morning. The Robertson County Sheriff's Office also released a statement Tuesday, confirming the second teen's death.

Spokesman Ryan Martin said the boy died Monday afternoon, and the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office was notified later that same day.

“We ask that everyone continue to pray for both of these families as they go through this tragic time,” Sheriff Bill Holt said in the department’s Tuesday release.

Since Stephenson’s death, two other teens have come forward, claiming they had drunk a similar substance, Smith said.

Four cases from Robertson County have been recorded with the Tennessee Poison Center, according to medical director Dr. Donna Seger.

Two of the teenagers were treated and released from two different emergency departments, Seger said.

Both teens said they had consumed a mixture of Mountain Dew and racing fuel, she said.

The investigation into the deaths of Stephenson and his best friend are ongoing. Police have not confirmed at this time whether the boys had actually consumed the substance because they are waiting for autopsy reports from the medical examiner's office that will determine cause of death, Smith said.

Meanwhile, investigators are urging community members to stop posting rumors about the case on social media sites, according to the release from the Robertson County Sheriff's Office.

The rumors "are deeply disturbing and harmful to the families that are already going through a tragic time of loss," the release said.

Holy crap, I came in here thinking someone was pouring Mt. Dew in their gas tank. They were drinking that #### mixed? Someday, the kids that survive will be running our country...... LOL

Well, dig me up a couple of cases in the last 50 years or so of some idiots chugging some racing fuel. Yeah, every generation has morons but this generation is really taking it up a few notches. I mean these idiots actually mixed it with soda so they put some serious 'thought' into it. This is the same group of idiots that came up with carving themselves up with knives. The habit of cutting can be, as the nurse at one school where it takes place put it, 'catching'. The fads they come up with are as dumb as any in the history of mankind.

People have been drinking methanol for decades (some on purpose, some accidentally). Hell, during prohibition is was sold by bootleggers.

"A 1922 report by the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness documented that during the first half of that year, wood alcohol caused 130 deaths and 22 cases of blindness"

"Cutting" is as least as old as the 1950s.

The older generation has a great schtick going. Brag about all the stupid stuff they did when they were younger that shows how tough they are, but when the younger generation does something stupid talk about how dumb it is to do that kind of stuff.

I wonder if he would've been a Trump supporter?

That picture is amazing. Before I even saw it I knew he'd be driving an old pickup with fabric seat covers, custom steering wheel, and a dash mounted tach. Too bad the angle wasn't more rearward so we could see the gun rack, "ain't skeered" window decal, and dual whip antennas.

Stereotypes aside, I feel bad for what his family is going through.
