A Welsh teenager has left behind a heartbroken family after her excessive chewing gum habit claimed her life.
Samantha Jenkins, 19, passed away after complaining that she had an upset stomach, which she initially blamed on a bottle of soft drink.
It wasn't until her family searched her bedroom in Felinfoel in south Wales that they discovered a huge amount of empty chewing gum boxes and wrappers.
After discovering in her autopsy "four or five bright green lumps" that turned out to be gum, coroners ruled that it could have played a part in her death.
