The young girl was rushed to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and died just three days later. <\/p>\n
Superintendent Rob Critchlow released a statement on the heartbreaking turn of events: <\/p>\n
\u201cThis investigation is in its infancy but early inquiries indicate this girl sourced an alcoholic drink recipe from an online site, then put that information to the test,\u201d The Daily Mail reports he said. <\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe consequences have been tragic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe cannot emphasise more strongly the risk of underage and – more importantly – uninformed alcohol consumption,\u201d he continued.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe have a family devastated by the death of their beloved daughter; they have a lot of questions.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe will endeavour to find answers, but our message has to be: do not risk your health experimenting with high-risk information sourced online.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAuthorities are also urging anyone with information that may assist the investigation to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She reportedly copied a recipe she had found online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[215],"tags":[],"geo_market":[],"class_list":["post-3271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
