Re: My Brother's recent death from Methylene Chloride

Nancy/Doug/Ana/Jeff,
What are you going to do about it? I just found out about another death. A young man working in California fell dead from exposure to this crap that you protect. At some point when you look in the mirror you will see the faces of these people that you failed to protect all because of a profit. I believe that we all have some inherent good, it's not to late to get on the right side of history. It's not too late to do the right thing, step out and ban methylene chloride. These deaths are preventable and the only way to do that is banning consumer sales.
!.i::r:.:::.ri.:.jbrought a lot to this world. He dared to branch out and start a small business (which was thriving). He made nitro tapped cold brew coffee and he died working on his business.
This is a picture of Drew at a wedding in September. One month after this picture he died.

j Not only can Methylene Chloride kill you instantly, long-term exposure can cause cancer. Lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer. Even concentrations below applicable occupational exposure limits, may increase the risk of cancer.
This is so bad that the DOD won't even use it (and they invented it).
! Do the right thing.
i Below is a picture of my brother with my son. Have you ever had to explain heaven to a 3 year old? I hope j you never have to experience that.
! Have a nice day.

Ana and Doug are tracking this, I thought you should as well. My brother died do to exposure from a chemical that you protect "Methylene Chloride". They say that Methylene chloride is a one-two punch when fumes accumulate, well that is 100% correct. My brother slumped over, no longer breathing, because the respiratory centers of his brain switched off and the chemical turned into Carbon Monoxide in his body which also starved his heart of oxygen. He was found dead on a cold floor surrounded by a puddle of blood (from falling over). You should know that his level of exposure was so high that we couldn't donate his organs and that they had to wear respirators during his autopsy.
There is no reason to shelf the NMP rule and there is no need for "long term action". The chemical kills, there are alternatives available. Have a soul and prevent this from happening again. If you care, read the details below.
V/R,
Brian Wynne

Hello Douglas,
.....Mv..name.jJs..B.ria.n..W.Y.nune, I am writing to follow up on a message sent to you by a family friend of ours
Ex. 6
It was my brother i e.personalprivacy(pp)\ who died from Methylene Chloride toxic fumes. To
heTp'cTaniyahdTembve the "alleged" from the subject "Death from Goof Off Product", I thought I would go
ahead and share the cause of death as determined by the Charleston Co. Coroner (autopsy conducted on
10/16/17 at 12:45pm). Sidebar the autopsy was delayed to to a need to decontaminate my brothers
body. Below is a link to his obituary and after that is the COD from the coroner.
was a 31 yr old small business owner that died working hour number 59 of his regular 60 hour week'. He was found a day after he died and it took the Hazmat team 2 hrs to recover his body from the building. The fumes were so strong that chemical detectors were having positive hits outside of the facility. I can go on into specific details (blood, smell, cleanup) but it wouldn't be worth it.
He bought poorly labeled poison and was sold an inadequate breathing apparatus at Lowes. He was blissfully unaware of the danger he faced when he walked out of that store and started working at his coffee plant.

Ex. 6
"In light of historical information and the toxicological, gross and microscopic autopsy findings, it is in the opinion of the pathologist that the decedent died as the result of acute dichloromethane and methanol toxicity. Furthermore, the manner of death is best deemed accident. "
Toxic Fumes (paint thinner/methylene chloride/methanol exposure).
Acute dichloromethane and methanol toxicity
Peripheral blood toxicology: dichloromethane = 77 mcg/ml, methanol = 25 mg/dl History of exposure to paint thinner fumes in a poorly ventilated enclosed space
Attached is a picture of the paint thinner aisle at Lowe's. Can you find the product that kills more effectively than the department of corrections?
Everything on the left side of the shelf will kill you, nothing on the right will save you. I'm not interested in debating EPA positions, I'm following up to provide the additional details that were requested.
