It’s just her family making a lawsuit to get money. There is zero evidence that caffeine enlarges the heart (which the family claims).
It’s like if I die after consuming a large amount of semen, like op, and my heart gives out. You can’t just blame the cum, I might just have been too excited to such dick, like op.
It was, however, learned that he had consumed 8 to 10 cans of energy drinks per day (3.5–4 Lit/d) in the 2-week period leading to the hospital admission.
I don't think I even need to elaborate here.
Article 2:
The results found that 19.6% of the participants consumed more than 400 mg of caffeine every day, which translates to about four cups of coffee, 10 cans of soda or two energy drinks. Chronic caffeine consumption at 400 mg daily was shown to significantly impact the autonomic nervous system, raising the heart rate and blood pressure over time.
Common knowledge, 400mg per day is set as the "safe limit", the vast majority who go over this limit have no issues.
Case study 2:
Alcohol and illicit drug use were denied, however there was a history of regular ‘Energy drink’ drink consumption, specifically consuming an average of four 500 mL cans per day for approximately 2 years. Each can contains 160 mg of caffeine in addition to taurine and various other ingredients.
In other words, the kid was sus and probably not entirely truthful about what he was consuming and gave no specifics, also above the well-known "limit" of 400mg.
I am no doctor but I feel that there is a strong possibility that this young lady may have had an underlying cardiac complication that was not known and the sheer amount of caffeine and sugar may have thrown her into some type of arrythmia and caused a cardiac event.
Apparently she drank Alani Nu which is 200g caffeine per can. At her consumption rate, that's only 800g per day. Back when I was working three jobs, I was drinking 7-8 Doubleshots every day since I got them 50% off due to work perks (we rented Starbucks several retail spaces). Caffeine really doesn't do shit for me these days.
A can of monster and a cup of coffee has about the same caffeine content per 100ml, at least where I live. But a monster can is about 3x the volume compared to a can of coffee, so you're in the ballpark.

But there’s actually a ton of articles and studies that have linked caffeine intake with acute cardiomyopathy? Am I missing something here?
Chakosa@reddit
Care to actually link these "ton of articles and studies"?

I didn’t say energy drinks killed this kid, I replied to OP saying we have studies linking drinking caffeine to acute cardiomyopathy.
Because he said there’s nothing that links caffeine to enlarged heart.
But that’s literally what we have studies showing.

I drank 8 monster cans on a day once and I was fine. This was a case of female bodies being weaker I presume
OctopusFarmer47@reddit
Difference between per day and once, lad
TimberAndStrings@reddit
I forgot to say that my average is probably 3 a day

Keep in mind she's not even an adult and probably weighs around 40-50 kgs
MikeRadical@reddit
I only recently found out that in the US most of your energy drinks have 2X that of an australian can.
benmarvin@reddit
How many Covid booster shots did she have?
Sensitive_nob@reddit
4 cans? Isn’t that just like 2 big cups of regular black coffee?
Sunny_Beam@reddit
No, it's more like 2-3x more caffeine.
Still not heart exploding amounts but it's a considerable amount more.

It's like that where I live too (non-US).

These comments are wild. A reddit thread with consumer blamers isnt going to sway public opinion, no matter how much we seem to be dumbasses.
