Athena Gervais, 14, whose body was found in a stream behind her high school last March, had consumed the equivalent of 12 glasses of wine, according to a coroner’s report.
The document attributes her death to drowning and possible hypothermia. There were no signs of trauma.

In the official report, released Wednesday, findings show that Gervais went to a depanneur with friends on their lunch hour; she bought a soup and a can of FCKD UP, an alcoholic drink.
“She drank the majority of its contents, sharing it with her friends,” said coroner Martin Larocque.

“She, again, drank the majority of what was in the can, sharing it with her friends,” the report says.
As they started walking back to the high school, Gervais drank some of a third can of the sugary, alcoholic drink before entering the school.
“She then exited the school alone. This was the last time she was seen alive,” the report said.
Her body was found March 1, 2018, in a stream behind Poly-Jeunesse High School in Laval, a few days after her death.

The coroner’s report found that there were no traces of drugs in her system. However, her blood-alcohol level was 192 mg/100 ml. The legal limit to drive a vehicle is 80 mg/100 ml.
“It should be noted that Athena Gervais had no significant history of alcohol consumption,” Larocque states.
“On Feb. 26, 2018, she started drinking at 12:01 p.m. and stopped roughly around 12:24 p.m. before heading back to school. This shows that she consumed a large quantity of alcohol in a very short period of time.”

The 568 ml cans contain 11.9 per cent alcohol. Gervais drank about 1.7 litres of what is considered strong alcohol.
“Her blood alcohol level shows she was severely drunk at the time of her death,” the report found.
“To our understanding, Athena Gervais was disoriented and accidentally fell into the stream.”

This includes that alcoholic drinks, similarly to tobacco, should have neutral packaging to not attract people to drink excessively.
“It is imperative that a set of measures be adopted to prevent the dangers of excessive drinking, especially in children and young adults,” Larocque writes.
