The exact way methanol entered the bottles remains unclear. Methanol is a toxic chemical often found in improperly distilled spirits and can be fatal even in small amounts.
Otteson’s devastated parents, Susan and Paul, paid tribute to their daughter and her fiancé, describing them as a “loving couple with their life ahead of them.”
Paul said: “We were so happy she picked Arno. He was such a lovely boy. Arno was a great musician, composer, and lyricist.”
The UK Foreign Office confirmed they are supporting Otteson’s family and are in contact with Vietnamese authorities.
No arrests have yet been made in connection with the incident.
