A British woman has become the fifth foreigner to die after a suspected methanol poisoning in Laos, as Australian Holly
Bowles fights for life in a Bangkok hospital.
Simone White, 28, a lawyer from southeast London, has been identified by British media as
among the tourists who died after consuming drinks
suspected to have been laced with methanol.
"We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Laos, and we are in contact with the local authorities," Britain's foreign ministry said in a statement.
An Australian, two Danes and an American have also died in the apparent mass poisoning in Vang Vieng, a popular tourist town in the landlocked Southeast Asian nation.
Melbourne teenager Bianca Jones, 19, was confirmed to have died by her family on Thursday, sparking a wave of emotional tributes from loved ones and political leaders.
Her friend Holly Bowles, also 19, continues to fight for her
life in a different Bangkok hospital.
The pair, from Beaumaris in Melbourne's southeast, had been holidaying
in Laos when they became ill along with a dozen other tourists in Vang Vieng last week.
They had planned to stay at the Nana Backpacker Hostel in Vang Vieng and
drank at the venue before reportedly going to Jaidee Bar on November 11.
Ms Jones and Ms Bowles did not leave their dorm room for
24 hours and reported feeling unwell on November 13, before being
taken to separate hospitals in Bangkok.
Shaun Bowles told reporters outside Bangkok Hospital on Wednesday that his daughter remained
in critical condition and on life support.
"We just like to thank everyone from back home for all of the support and love that we're receiving," he said.
"But we'd also like the people to appreciate right now, we just need privacy so we can spend as much time as we can with Holly."
Consular assistance is being provided to the families of the two Australians girls.
Hostel manager Duong Duc Toan said the Australian women had joined more
than 100 other guests for free shots of Lao vodka offered by the hostel as a gesture of hospitality.
Thai authorities confirmed Ms Jones had died by "brain swelling due to high levels of methanol found in her system".
The Australian government has updated its travel advice for Laos, telling
residents to be alert to the potential risk of spirit-based
drinks including cocktails.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong said drink-spiking
and methanol poisoning were "far too common in many parts of the world".
"At this time I would say to parents, to young people, please have a conversation about risks, please inform yourselves, please let's work together to ensure this tragedy does not happen again," she said.
Ms White's friend Bethany Clarke also urged tourists
in the region to avoid local spirits.
"Just avoid them as so not worth it," she wrote in a Laos
backpacking Facebook group.
"Six of us who drank from the same place are in hospital currently with methanol poisoning."
One New Zealand citizen has also fallen ill in Laos and
could be a victim of methanol poisoning, New Zealand's Foreign Ministry said.
"Travellers are advised to be cautious about consuming alcoholic beverages, particularly cocktails and drinks made with spirits that may have been adulterated with harmful substances," it said.

Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
