Grieving mom of 28-year-old who died of heart attack shares concerns over common drink following her death

A Florida mother, Lori Barranon, is raising concerns about energy drinks after her 28-year-old daughter, Katie Donnell, died of a sudden heart attack in 2021. Katie, described as “the epitome of health,” collapsed while out with friends and spent 10 days on life support before passing away on August 9.

Lori believes excessive energy drink consumption played a role in her daughter’s death. “She would start with a pre-workout before work or the gym at five in the morning,” she said. “Her boyfriend said she would buy a four-pack every two to three days. Not to mention she was drinking a lot of coffee and doing the pre-workout.”

Health experts warn that excessive caffeine can lead to heart issues, though no conclusive link was found in Katie’s case. The USDA and EFSA deem up to 400 mg of daily caffeine safe, but some energy drinks exceed 500 mg.

Lori urges others to monitor caffeine intake: “I beg people to counsel your kids and watch what they’re doing. I think energy drinks should be banned.”
