A British tourist died after a drinking challenge at a Jamaica hotel.
Timothy Southern, from Lichfield, Staffs, took on the challenge of drinking all 21 cocktails on the menu at the hotel pool bar.
He drank 12 of the 21 cocktails before going back to his room.
He later collapsed and was taken to hospital.
A medical examiner attributed his death to ‘acute gastroenteritis due to alcohol consumption.’
The family criticised the initial response from emergency services.
