A teenager has tragically died after accidentally inhaling deodorant in her bedroom. Giorgia Green, 14, was found unresponsive after spraying her blanket with aerosol deodorant and wrapping herself inside.
The harrowing incident occurred last year in Derby, when the 14-year-old was discovered in an non-responsive state by her mother. The Mirror reports that the youngster suffered a cardiac arrest and later passed away.
Following her demise, her parents are fundraising to raise awareness of the dangers of inhaling aerosols. They claim they are doing so in order to ensure that the tragedy does not repeat itself.
So far the couple have raised more than £4,000 on JustGiving. Clare and Paul Green said: “Due to our own tragic circumstances we want to educate others and raise awareness to help protect you, your family and friends.
“Giorgia Almira Green went to her room on 11th May 2022. When mum went up to her as it was time for them to go out to Giorgia's drumming lesson, Giorgia was non responsive.
“No illness, no sickness, no warning. A perfectly healthy fit child who has never been seriously ill.
"Due to her sensory seeking behaviour she liked to spray her blanket and wrap herself in the blanket. She liked the smell of the deodorant and it made her feel relaxed and calm.
“Giorgia's passing has come as a total shock and totally out of the blue.”
The parents are now seeking to raise awareness of the dangers of using too much aerosol deodorant. They added: “ We want to share this happened because our daughter sprayed too much aerosol deodorant.
“Please help us spread the word that toxic/poisonous chemicals and gases in aerosol cans can kill, this type of death is not limited to children. What we really want is to raise awareness
