A woman in New Zealand recently passed away and experts believe that her addiction to Coke may have been the cause of her demise. And that’s Coca-Cola, the soda, by the way, not cocaine. Natasha Harris, 30, reportedly drank at least 2-gallons of Coca-Cola a day. Harris’ partner, Chris Hodgkinson, said at an inquest into Harris’ death: “The first thing she would do in the morning was to have a drink of Coke beside her bed and the last thing she would do at night was have a drink of Coke. She was addicted to Coke.” Harris officially died of a heart attack in February 2010. Pathologist Dr Dan Mornin said that Harris suffered from low potassium and was smoking about 30-cigarettes a day before her death and wasn’t eating well. Another pathologist, Dr Martin Sage, said: “Excessive long or short term cola ingestion can be symptomatic, and there are strong hypothetical grounds for this becoming fatal in individual cases.”
