Eastern Cape confirms cause of death of 21 teenagers at Enyobeni Tavern will soon be revealed

The families of the 21 teens who passed away at the Enyobeni Tavern in East London in June will allegedly be the first to learn the findings of what caused their loved ones’ deaths, according to a report from the provincial government of the Eastern Cape.

The Eastern Cape province administration earlier on Thursday stated that the results had been received, but that they would first tell the families before making them public. The regional authorities ruled out in July that the deaths of the 21 young people were caused by a stampede. Alcohol abuse and possible carbon monoxide exposure were also ruled out.

The Eastern Cape province administration, the Police Ministry, and the National Department of Health recently conducted a briefing to provide an update on the initial investigations into the deaths of the 21 youngsters.

All 21 of the patrons who passed away at the Enyobeni Tavern had blood and stomach samples obtained, according to Dr. Litha Matiwane of the Department of Health. In the Western Cape, a post-mortem was performed.

Blood alcohol levels ranged from 0.05 grams to 0.26 grams per 100 milliliters in those who died at the Enyobeni Tavern, according to an examination of their levels as well as those of carbon monoxide and qualitative methanol. This indicates that the people did not pass away from drinking too much alcohol.

Methanol was discovered in the blood of the victims, according to Matiwane, who also stated that it is too soon to guess as to how the 21 youngsters drank it at Enyobeni.

An industrially harmful alcohol is methanol. It serves as an alternate fuel source, an insecticide, and a solvent. Additionally, it happens naturally in people, animals, and plants.
