Although initial hospital reports indicated that the man had been ``binge drinking'' for days prior to his admission to Huntington Memorial, no alcohol was found in his blood, Carrier said. Authorities now say Ciriaco did not have a history of alcohol abuse - a point stressed by his family in the aftermath of his death, when a coroner's official said that might have been a contributing factor. Ciriaco's attorney, Norberto Reyes, was out of the country and his office refused comment on the determination. A spokesman for Anheuser-Busch, the maker of the beer, declined to comment on the findings of the coroner's office. Reyes had said that Ciriaco had suffered chronic health problems after drinking from a bottle of beer that contained sodium hydroxide sodium hydroxide, chemical compound, NaOH, a white crystalline substance that readily absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from the air.

The cleaning solution is used to strip labels and clean bottles prior to refilling. A wad of paper left inside the bottle apparently became lodged in the neck and kept the solution from draining normally or being rinsed out, company officials said. A production jam allowed the tainted bottle to bypass electronic sensors. |
