Prom King Died From Caffeine Powder Overdose
Logan Stiner, 18, died after ingesting a toxic amount of caffeine
The death of an Ohio high school senior just shy of his graduation has officially been attributed to a caffeine overdose.
On May 27, recently elected prom king Logan Stiner, 18, came home for lunch and ingested enough caffeine powder to cause an irregular heartbeat and seizures. His brother found him dead next to the white powder.
“I never thought it would hurt an 18-year-old child,” his mother Lora Balka told WKYC.
