Dad collapses and dies in front of horrified wife after ‘drinking expired soft drinks’ as cops probe cans
A DAD collapsed and died in front of his horrified wife hours after drinking expired soft drinks - as cops probe if the cans contributed to his death.
Australian man Kevin James Nunn, 58, died on Wednesday at his home in Bali, Indonesia, after consuming two cans of out-of-date tonic water before telling his wife he felt sick with chest pains.
Police are now probing whether the drinks may have contributed to his death - but said there was no suggestion he was deliberately poisoned.
Mr Nunn, originally from Kalgoorlie, consumed two cans of tonic water at about 8am on Wednesday and by 9am said he was feeling sick, with chest pains.
It is understood he then went to bed as his Indonesian wife went out to buy malaria medication which she gave to him, along with milk, in a bid to neutralise acid as he had started vomiting.
Denpasar police chief, Jansen Avitus Panjaitan, told the “At around 8am the victim drank (a can of) Schweppes soft drink and started walking around the house.
"At 9am the victim told his wife Arianti that (he) felt sick … and around 10 the victim entered his room to lay down.”
'HARD TO BREATHE'
Arianti recalled her husband struggled to breathe and then collapsed and died in front of her.
She told “I start to panic, I start to panic and I just screaming, I screaming.
“He get hard to breathe, it’s very bad. Really, really bad.”
The wife and mum to their three-year-old daughter Yasmin said her husband initially told her he wanted to go to hospital but then told her he would wait.
The 58-year-old later died about 12.10pm and his cause of death remains unknown.
Mr Panjaitan said police were still trying to determine the cause of death but it was not believed to be a crime.
