According to a coroner's inquest in Wales, a local fitness instructor ordered some caffeine powder, which had instructions to mix up 60 to 300 milligrams, twice a day.
Unfortunately the man, a 29-year-old father of two, was using a kitchen scale where the minimum it would read with two grams, or nearly seven times the maximum recommended dose.
According to the local coroner, the dearly departed was apparently aiming for a middle of the road dose of caffeine but "he got his maths wrong" (as the British say).
After consuming the product he was clutching his chest and complaining his heart was beating fast. He decided to lie down and started foaming at the mouth.
His wife alerted neighbors and family members and called an ambulance. Paramedics worked for 45 minutes attempting to revive the man, who was pronounced dead at the hospital.
