    Not much information to go off of, do we know if he was ill? Was he throwing up or complaining of head pain? How do they know it was spice rather than just a drunk kid?

    Not to say that spice isn’t harmful but we shouldn’t assume it was one or the other since we don’t even know what was wrong.
