| New Bali horror as Arak drinkers die |
| 2009-06-02 |
| Foreign nationals have been succumbing to poisoned liquor on the Indonesian island of Bali. A total of 23 people are thought to have died from alcohol poisoning in the past four days. Doctors and police in the Bali capital, Denpasar, have said the foreigners probably died after drinking a popular local palm liquor known as Arak. They say the drinks were spiked with poisonous methanol, causing a swelling of the lungs and resultant asphyxiation. |
