Allegheny Township: Three severely injured, one dead in beer drinking mishap.

Three people were hospitalized Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10, in a bizarre incident involving Coor’s light and liquid nitrogen.

The incident happened just north of US-22 in the Glenwood condominium park around noon, when local residents Joseph DeI’perio, Christopher Sandydish, Dean Delruka and Miguel D’Ambozio – all 28 – we submerging cans of Coors lite beer into a cooler full of liquid nitrogen.  

Apparently the four men ended up ingesting several ounces of the liquid gas and were found by Joseph’s wife Beth, clutching their stomachs and screaming in pain.

Three of the men were taken to Forbes hospital in Monroeville and are currently in intensive care.  Miguel D’Ambozio was announced dead at the scene.  

The hospital has informed us that the men are suffering from internal burns and perforations in their upper Gi tract, from their epiglottis down to the stomach, and are currently on feeding tubes and heavily sedated.

Joseph’s wife released a statement, in an attempt to explain the bizarre incident, saying that the men were convinced that “Coors Light had to taste good if it was really super duper cold.”

“They figured they weren’t making it cold enough to taste good,” Beth told us, “But I guess the stuff was getting into the beer and that’s what made them sick.  I mean, we ain’t stupid.  We know not to drink the stuff.  We know there really isn’t no train.”

Liquid Nitrogen is the compound nitrogen cooled down to over -200 degrees Celsius and it is often used as a coolant to preserve heavy duty machinery that produces large amounts of heat.

The nitrogen was reportedly legally obtained over the internet by Mr. D’Ambozio and paramedics on the scene said that they had “never seen anything like it.”

According to local paramedic and Monroeville volunteer fireman Michael Simms, the body of Miguel D’Ambozio was  “extremely bloated with gas.”

“I’m not quite sure how he managed to ingest that much [liquid nitrogen].  It should have made him sick immediately," said Mr. Simms.  “He’s must have been drinking at an extremely quick rate to get that much into him before his esophagus closed.  It’s something I didn’t think was physically possible.

Miguel's lifepartner, Neil Galdwell, when arriving at the hospital simply said "If Michael knew the stuff was toxic he probably wouldn't have drank it."
