Was Red Bull the cause of death for Kevin Samuels?

Was Red Bull the primary cause of death for Kevin Samuels? As conspiracy theories grow, Red Bull still remains a culprit.

Like many of Kevin Samuels, loyal fans and supporters await the autopsy report on the official cause of death, speculation continues to revolve around his frequent Red Bull consumption. Many medical reports state that: frequent consumption of high sugar energy drinks can cause a heart attack.

According to HeartLine.Com’s review on Red Bull and the harm it can cause, it states that Red Bull ingredients vary from country to country. Upon close examination of any Red Bull energy drink container, you will notice that many stores carry Red Bull from different countries.

Several studies in healthy adults have shown that drinking one 12-ounce (355-ml) can of Red Bull significantly increased blood pressure and heart rate levels within 90 minutes and up to 24 hours after consumption.

These increases in heart rate and blood pressure are thought to be largely due Red Bull’s caffeine content, as one large 12-ounce (355-ml) can contain 108 mg of caffeine — about the same amount as a cup of coffee.

Despite these increases, moderate and occasional intake of Red Bull is unlikely to cause serious heart problems in healthy adults. Still, excess intake — particularly in younger people — has been linked to abnormal heart rhythm, heart attack, and even death.

Kevin Samuels was 53 years of age when he passed.
