Katie Donnell, a 28-year-old Florida teacher and fitness enthusiast, passed away from a heart attack, leading her mother to blame her frequent consumption of energy drinks. Despite her healthy lifestyle, including a clean diet and regular workouts, Donnell reportedly consumed up to three energy drinks a day. Her mother, Lori Barranon, speculates that Donnell's caffeine consumption exacerbated her anxiety and contributed to her death. Medical professionals acknowledged the dangers of excessive caffeine intake, though did not directly associate it with her cause of death. The family hopes to raise awareness about these risks.
"At 28, you just don't see people dropping dead of a heart attack," her mother, Lori Barranon, recently told Kennedy News & Media. "She was a workout queen..."
"Doctors said they see this happen a lot with people that do a lot of pre-workout or energy drinks but they wouldn't give the cause of death to that," Barranon said. "I know for a fact that was what was wrong with her."
