Seventeen-year-old Amber Suri Talley has died from Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome due to inhaling Freon. She had been using inhalants for six months prior to the incident.
Amber was found dead with a garbage bag over her face to concentrate the fumes. The cause of death was cardiac arrest and asphyxiation.
Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome can occur the first time from inhalant abuse. One in five pupils in the United states has tried inhalants before he or she reaches the eighth grade, according the the NIPC.
