A British lawyer's parents are heartbroken after their daughter's apparent murder by poisoning.

The tragic death of Simone White, a 28-year-old lawyer from south-east London, has left her parents devastated. She was one of six tourists who lost their lives after staying in the popular backpacker spot, Vang Vieng, in Laos. White's parents shared their grief in a statement, expressing how their daughter was taken from them far too soon. They described her as a unique soul with a vibrant energy and a love for life, who touched the lives of those around her. Her sudden passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and colleagues.

According to reports, White had unknowingly consumed alcohol laced with methanol while staying in Vang Vieng. Sadly, she is not the only victim of this deadly incident. Two other young women from Melbourne, Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones, also lost their lives due to the suspected poisoning. Along with them, an American and two Danish tourists also passed away. The UK's Foreign Office has confirmed White's passing and is providing support to her family, while also working with local authorities.

Methanol, a clear liquid chemical used in various everyday products, including cosmetics, paints, and fuels, is the culprit behind these tragic deaths. It is often illegally added to alcoholic beverages as a cheaper alternative to ethanol. According to the Methanol Institute, even a small amount of 25-90ml of methanol can be fatal if consumed.

The devastating consequences of this incident extend beyond just White's family. Her parents expressed their condolences to all the other families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost their loved ones in this horrific incident. The authorities are investigating the source of the methanol-laced alcohol and taking necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

We must remember that these young individuals had their whole lives ahead of them, and their absence will be deeply felt by their loved ones. Let us hope that justice will be served, and these tragic deaths will not be in vain.
