An 18-year-old from Dundee died in Benidorm after a suspected allergic reaction to newly purchased vape oil.

Summary

Harry Whitton, an 18-year-old from Dundee, died while on holiday in Benidorm, Spain, after collapsing during lunch. His father, Chris, stated that a post-mortem revealed Harry's throat constricted, causing breathing difficulties and aspiration of vomit into his lungs. The family suspects the cause was a vape oil Harry had recently purchased in Benidorm, noting it was the only difference between his vape and that of his girlfriend.

His mother, Debbie Bell, indicated that the family intends to have the vape oil tested for contained substances upon returning to Scotland. The family has launched a GoFundMe page to cover repatriation costs. Harry was highly regarded by his colleagues and supporters at Dundee FC, where he worked in the hospitality lounges at Dens Park. The Foreign Office has confirmed they are supporting the family and coordinating with local authorities.
