An initial investigation into Southern’s death found that he had been drinking brandy and beer throughout the morning. At some point during the day, Southern met two Canadian women celebrating a birthday.
The women told him they were trying to complete the 21-cocktail challenge before midnight as part of their festivities. It was not immediately clear how quickly Southern consumed the 12 cocktails. His family members — who were on the trip with him — said they tried in vain to help him.
“He was on his back choking. I put him in the recovery position and screamed for an ambulance. He was making a gurgling sound. As soon as he was in the recovery position, he vomited. I was shouting his name with no response,” one of his family members told authorities.
The family has since expressed outrage and dissatisfaction with the emergency crews who tried to save him in his hotel, claiming they were unprepared to effectively take care of him
