Darius Campbell Danesh’s family have explained that the pain from a historic injury was behind his use of chloroethane, which caused his death aged 41.
It was confirmed on Saturday September 10 by Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office that he died from ‘inhalation of chloroethane’, with his death ruled as an accident.
At the time, he said to Hello he felt like the ‘luckiest man alive’ after a nurse told him: ‘Three millimetres this way, you no walk; three millimetres that way, you’re dead.’ It can also be used as a refrigerant, an aerosol spray propellant or anaesthetic. It can produce a cooling effect which is sometimes used in dentistry to diagnose whether a tooth is dead or not.Chloroethane is a central nervous system depressant and can be fatal if inhaled in higher concentrations.
If the patient can be roused with physical contact or loud noises, they should be removed from the area of exposure to restore consciousness. The long-term effects of exposure over a period of four or more hours will cause side effects similar to hangovers caused by alcohol, such as dehydration, dizziness, loss of clear vision and temporary loss of consciousness, which can last an hour or more.
