Man mistakes acid for water

CIREBON, West Java: Judin, 36, a resident of Kaliwadas village
in Weru subdistrict, died on Monday after mistakenly drinking
acid which he thought was water.

Judin, a craftsman, was having breakfast at his workplace in a
local rattan factory when he picked up a glass of what he took to
be water from the canteen table.

But after he drank it, Judin screamed, vomited and had a
seizure. A yellowish foam came out of his mouth, and his lips and
several of his teeth cracked.

Judin then was rushed to the Gunung Jati Hospital but died not
long afterwards, Antara reported.

According to the hospital's medical staff, the "water" he
drank was in reality concentrated acid.(hdn)
