A young Australian woman has died, the sixth foreign tourist to lose their life in Laos in South East Asia, from suspected methanol poisoning.
Holly Bowles was 19, on holiday with her best friend Bianca Jones, who’s also died. Simone White, a lawyer from Kent in the UK is also among the victims. Two other victims aged 19 and 20 were from Denmark, and an American man in his 50s has also died.
They were in a town called Vang Vieng in Laos, that’s popular among backpackers. Some of those who fell ill have been taken to hospital in neighbouring Thailand.
