Teenager has stomach removed to save her life after drinking lethal liquid nitrogen cocktail

A teenager has had her stomach removed to save her life after drinking a cocktail made with liquid nitrogen.
Gaby Scanlon was celebrating her 18th birthday at a bar in Lancaster when she had the drink and began to feel breathless.
She developed severe stomach pain and was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a perforated stomach.
Doctors performed emergency surgery to remove her stomach and save her life.
Miss Scanlon, from Heysham, Lancashire, is in a serious but stable condition, police said.
Friends said on Twitter she had texted them since coming round from surgery at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
The bar which sold the drink was named by ITV News as Oscar’s in Lancaster.
It issued a statement saying it was ‘tremendously concerned’ for the teenager and that its ‘wishes go to her and her family’.
Last month the bar posted a picture on its Facebook page of a cocktail which contained liquid nitrogen called the Pornstar Martini.
Sold for £8.95 with a shot of champagne, the bar called it ‘amazing’.
