The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. methanol passed off as alcohol

    “growing problem of methanol being passed off as alcohol for human consumption particularly in places such as Bali”
  2. 2. lack of UK Government publicity about methanol risk

    “little publicity by the UK Government of the risk in contrast to the approach taken by the Australian Government who had undertaken a campaign to increase awareness to protect their citizens travelling in areas of Asia such as Bali”
  3. 3. lack of public guidance on methanol risk for UK travellers

    “The UK Government publicising information about the risk of methanol being used in local spirits, steps that could be taken by UK nationals travelling to reduce the risk and warning signs of methanol toxicity would help to reduce the chance of others dying in the way in which [the deceased] died”
