Davis Allen Cripe: Teen didn't die from too much caffeine, but from how he drank it

Davis Allen Cripe was only 16-years-old when he collapsed and died last month after drinking several highly-caffeinated drinks within a two hour time-frame. The South Carolina teen drank a latte from McDonald’s, a large Mountain Dew, and an unidentified energy drink before collapsing in class at Spring Hill High School, according to Gary Watts, the coroner of Richland County, S.C. In an interview with Reuters, Watts said that Cripe was healthy and there was no sign of a heart condition.
