Within two hours time, Cripe drank a cafe latte from a McDonald's, a large diet Mountain Dew, and an energy drink which has yet to be named.

The emotional father also took to the microphone, pleading with parents to talk to their children about excessive caffeine and energy drinks in general.

“It wasn’t a car crash that took his life,” said Sean of his teenage son. “Instead, it was an energy drink. Parents, please talk to your kids about these energy drinks. And teenagers and students: please stop buying them.”

Richland County Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Amy Durso, said it was the short time span in which such a large amount of caffeine was consumed that was to blame for the tragic death.

“A cup of coffee, a can of soda isn’t going to cause this thing,” she said. “It’s the amount and also the time frame in which these caffeinated beverages are consumed that can put you at risk."

“You can have five people line up right here and all of them do the exact same thing that happened with him that day — drink more — and it may not have any kind of effect on them at all,” added Watts.
