Teenager has her stomach removed to save her life after drinking lethal liquid nitrogen cocktail

  Gabby Scanlan had been drinking at a bar in Lancaster on Thursday evening to celebrate her 18th birthday when she was left feeling breathless.

After developing serious stomach pain she was rushed to Lancaster Royal Infirmary where she diagnosed with a perforated stomach. Miss Scanlan, from the village of Heysham in Lancashire, then underwent emergency surgery to remove her stomach. She is now in a serious, but stable condition. Liquid nitrogen oxide can be added to a cocktail to chill and create a signature smoke effect.

One of the most common uses of the cooling liquid is to add a small amount to a cocktail to chill and create a signature nitrogen grey smoke effect.
Lancashire Police said the bar have ceased selling the liquid nitrogen cocktail:

The premises involved have fully cooperated with all agencies and have suspended drinks involving liquid nitrogen'
'The investigation is still in its early stages until full facts are established.
