A 13-year-old boy passed away in the Al-Abbara district of Baqubah in Diyala, after his health deteriorated following the consumption of 6 cans of energy drinks.

According to a source in a press statement I reviewed from the "Video News Agency," the boy, Dhufar Walid, consumed 6 cans of the energy drink available in the markets, which led to the deterioration of his health and his transfer to the hospital, but he later died.

The source added that the boy's family held funeral rites for him in the area amidst a somber atmosphere, while local circles called for stricter regulation on the distribution of energy drinks, especially among children and adolescents, urging to limit their access.
