Like many others here, I consume more caffeine than this on a regular basis. I'll bet many of this kid's fellow students do too. Wouldn't be surprised if his parents and the coroner also fit that description. So it's not just the caffeine intake that's involved here. Possible factors: * Latent undiagnosed medical condition or unusual sensitivity * Dehydration or intense exercise * Potentiating effect from some other ingredient, or somethig else he had consumed * Other substances that might have shown up on a proper toxicology scan (mention of which is notably absent from this story) Without addressing these alternate hypotheses, "it was the caffeine" is premature and a bit irresponsible.
