Teenager Dies From Sports Cream Overdose

As reported in Newsday, the New York medical examiner has announced that the death of a seventeen-year-old track star on Staten Island was caused by high levels of methyl salicylate – an anti-inflammatory found in sports creams such as Bengay and Icy Hot.   The medical examiner stated that the teen used the sports creams “to excess,”  and called the death “very unusual.”
