The parents of a British lawyer who died after being poisoned with methanol in Laos have described her as a “beautiful, kind and loving daughter”.<\/p>\n

Simone White, 28, was one of six people who are believed to have died as a result of drinking methanol-laced vodka from a bar in Vang Vieng, a resort popular with backpackers in the southeast Asian country.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by Ms White’s employers, law firm Squire Patton Boggs, her parents said: “We are devastated by the loss of our beautiful, kind and loving daughter Simone.<\/p>\n

“Simone was one of a kind and had the most wonderful energy and spark for life. She was a soul who gave so much to so many and was loved by her family, friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

“Simone has been taken from us too soon, she will be sorely missed by her brother, grandmother and entire family.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts go out to all other families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy.”<\/p>\n

The London law firm called Ms White, who was from Orpington in Kent, was a “talented colleague with a bright future ahead of her”, adding that she will be “sincerely missed”.<\/p>\n

It follows the news that two Australian teenagers<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>have also died, as well as two Danish women in their 20s and a 56-year-old US citizen.<\/p>\n

Best friends Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones, both 19, fell ill on13 November following a night out drinking with a group, according to Australian authorities.<\/p>\n

Methanol<\/a> <\/strong>is sometimes added to mixed drinks as a cheaper alternative to alcohol but can cause severe poisoning or death.<\/p>\n

Police in Laos have detained the manager and owner of the Nana Backpacker Hostel in connection with the death of Ms White and five others.<\/p>\n

No charges have been filed but staff at the hostel, which is still operating but not accepting new guests, confirmed the manager and owner were among those taken in for questioning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
