An 18-year-old man from Dundee, Scotland, dies suddenly while on holiday in Benidorm, Spain, reports say. The teenager, identified as Harry Whitton, was on the trip with his girlfriend when he passed away. His father, Colin Whitton, says preliminary post-mortem findings indicate the teenager’s throat becomes constricted, which he says could explain breathing difficulties before death. The family attributes the incident to a possible reaction related to vaping, claiming the teen used vape oil he bought locally in Benidorm and describing it as “dodgy.” The outlets also describe the case as involving a potential reaction to vape oil, though they do not provide confirmed medical conclusions beyond the early post-mortem assessment. Authorities’ full findings and any official determination of the cause of death are not included in the reports. The accounts are consistent that the death happens during the holiday and that the father points to a vape-oil-related reaction as a key factor, based on preliminary results.
