Horrible last hours: Two backpackers die after vomiting blood!
Laos - After leaving school, two teenagers from Denmark decided to travel the world with their backpacks. But what began as a dream trip ended in a nightmare for the two friends.
As Daily Mail reports, Anne-Sofie Orkild Coyman (20) and Freja Vennervald Sørensen (21) had just graduated from high school when they started their exciting journey around the world.
After their first leg through Italy and Hungary in 2023, they began their grand tour through Southeast Asia in September.
They arrived in Laos at the beginning of the month and checked into Nana Backpackers in Vang Vieng, a popular destination for travelers from all over the world.
But their dream trip took a tragic turn when they consumed a cocktail believed to be mixed with dangerous methanol.
The two young women, who had started their trip with so much anticipation, were later found lying unconscious on the bathroom floor.
Anne-Sofie and Freja were taken to hospital, but it was already too late. Both were already in a coma and were pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
Terrible last hours
The women had previously arranged to meet a Belgian man who started looking for them after 72 hours without any news.
He was particularly worried because the last message from the Danish women was that they had been vomiting blood for 13 hours.
When he finally found out that Anne-Sofie and Freja had died, he was shocked.
The two women had drunk the same alcohol as several other travelers in their hostel, who also fell ill.
Six dead vacationers in Laos: Investigation underway
A total of six people died, including Australian teenagers Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones, 28-year-old Briton Simone White and 57-year-old American James Louis Hutson.
Eleven other foreign travelers are still in a critical condition in hospital.
The owner of the backpacker hostel, Duong Duc Toan, was arrested by the police.
The investigation into the incident is still ongoing.
