Death By Remedy

“Carrot Juice Overload”: A health enthusiast believed the path to good health was paved with Vitamin A. So much so, that he daily drank 5 litres of carrot juice and took 21 times the recommended daily dose of Vitamin A tablets. The resulting overdose overloaded his body and he died of acute liver damage. “Trapped!”: A man cleaning out his closet took an awkward tumble, which caused an upright wardrobe to fall, trapping him inside. Hoping to gain freedom, he tore a pipe from the wall, which caused water to gush. Seven days later he was found dead from a severe bronchial infection. “Tanned Alive!”: A woman suffering from a skin rash went to her doctor, who prescribed the drug Psoralen and UV radiation. The pills she got from the pharmacist and the UV light she got from a tanning booth. But a pre-existing ultra-sensitivity to light caused third degree burns from a single tanning session and she died in hospital.
