HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Police in this California surf city are looking for anyone who saw two teens before they were found dead in an apartment with an empty can of an alcoholic energy drink and traces of drug and alcohol use.
"We're trying to determine if there was anyone with them that evening, how they obtained the alcohol and what kind of drugs they might have used," Lt. Russell Reinhart said Monday.
The bodies of Aaron Saenz, 15, of Westminster, and Chelsea Taylor, 16, of Huntington Beach, were found Friday morning along with an empty Four Loko can and physical evidence of drug and alcohol use in the apartment, which was supposed to be empty.
When it was first sold, Four Loko contained both alcohol and caffeine, but its maker announced in November that it would remove the caffeine from its formulas. It was not known if the empty can found in the apartment contained caffeine.
The sale of Four Loko has been banned by at least 13 states through their alcohol control boards, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Last year, the Food and Drug Administration warned four companies that make caffeine and alcohol drinks that their products are unsafe.
The managers of the large apartment complex spotted two people in the apartment and called police, who found the bodies, Reinhart said.
"There was no indication of trauma, no weapon involved. So we believe these deaths were accidental or an overdose," Reinhart said. Autopsies were conducted on the teens Monday but the cause of their deaths remained under investigation.
Reinhart said it would take a couple of months until the toxicology tests confirm exactly how the two teens died.
He did not specify the drug evidence found because it could interfere with the investigation.
He said the boys' families did not want to speak publicly.
"It's obviously tragic," he said.

never do either

Four Loko is definitely getting the banhammer

I'm a total dumbass and even I wouldn't die to Four Loko.
Their deaths are sad, but they're just insanely stupid.

I'm just saying, not to offend anyone, but just drinking Four Loko and doing drugs at the same time is just insane. I'm sorry for your loss, as I said before, but dying to drugs isn't worth the pleasure when you have 60 years of life ahead of you.

My cousin never mixed drugs. He just had 3 of them back to back.

It's called Four Loko for a reason. Drink Four, you go Loko no matter what; drink three and your chances of dying are higher than your chances of waking up in time for class tomorrow.

Yeah, my cousin was one of the smartest people I knew. He always thought he was tough and stuff. When we were younger he'd tell me he'd protect me from d-bags at school and stuff and like he was just an older brother in general. It was 1/1/11 and he thought he could take it. Wanted to live for the moment a little too much.
His "friends" left him in the back of the club puking. he was having seizure and he fell unconscious or something. By the time ambulance got there it was too late.

Again, I'm really sorry for your loss. He made a mistake, and we all make mistakes; hopefully, he can rest peacefully knowing he has you caring about him day and night.
Also, sorry if I offended you in any way at all. I'm insanely tired and have no idea what I'm saying.

Nah it's all good. I know what you meant man. it's just hard to let go. A lot of things remind me about him, and now this thread pops up.

I've had like two cups of strong black tea and two or three beers back to back with little consequence. honestly it's just how much you drink that matters, like with any drug. Lethal dose indeed..
it seems the whole challenge presented to young people with 4loko that makes it more dangerous

Ah yes Four Loko. I can't even drink that much w/o having to take a p*** the size of Niagra Falls. Couldn't imagine what it'd do with all that caffeine and sugar... Oh Gawd.

They brought Four Lokos back here in NYC.
Without caffeine though. I hate it now.

You mean it now can't be considered assault with a deadly weapon if i smack my friend upside the head with one?
