Manchester - A teenager died from deodorant fumes because of his obsession with personal hygiene, an inquest heard.

Jonathan Capewell (16), had 10 times the lethal dosage of propane and butane in his blood, a coroner heard. He became obsessed with smelling fresh and would cover his entire body in deodorant at least twice a day. The schoolboy died after suffering a heart attack. It is believed the gases built up in his body following months of repeatedly spraying himself in the bedroom of his home in Whitebank Road, Oldham, Greater Manchester.
