A healthy Arizona teenage girl mysteriously died after drinking an energy drink while vacationing with friends in Mexico, reports say.
Lanna Hamann, a 16-year-old student at Sunrise Mountain High School in Peoria, was rushed to a Rocky Point hospital on June 14 during a weekend trip with a friend and their parents.
The athletic teen, who played softball, was hanging out on the beach when she went into cardiac arrest and died.
Her mother was notified shortly after back in Arizona.
Her family believes her death is linked to a Red Bull she drank moments before, according to the Arizona Republic, but a cause of death has not been determined.
She was apparently dehydrated from not drinking any water in the hot weather.
"This is something that could have happened anywhere," the teen's crying mother, Kris Hamann, told KPHO-TV. "Whether she was in Mexico or whether she was here in Arizona playing softball."
Her body was brought back to the U.S. on Wednesday after complications with the Mexican government over Hamann's birth certificate to transport the body.
A social media project called #GetLannaHome raised funds for the transport and funeral.

dont blame it on the redbull.. there have been many cases about football players in school collapsing and dying from dehydration while exerting themselves in the heat... sad sad story, hope they don't sue redbull..... every one is too litigious
