Many factors contributed to Natasha Harris' death in 2010, but one pathologist is saying that the mother of eight may have died thanks to Coca-Cola. The New Zealand mom drank approximately 2 gallons of the soda daily; this may well have caused her death.
Details outlined in her autopsy state that hypokalemia (low postassium) was a factor, and this condition may have been indirectly caused by her massive consumption.
What did Coca-Cola have to say about it? A rep from the corporation's Oceania facilities issued this statement:
We concur with the information shared by the coroner's office that the grossly excessive ingestion of any food product, including water, over a short period of time with the inadequate consumption of essential nutrients, and the failure to seek appropriate medical intervention when needed, can be dramatically symptomatic.
