· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The legal process regarding the death of Larissa Rodríguez, the 17-year-old whose passing was attributed by the Hidalgo County coroner to a cardiomyopathy caused by excessive caffeine consumption, will continue in court. The main development is that a judge in Hidalgo County denied a request from Glazer’s Beer and Beverage to suspend the case while the company sought a review in a higher court. With this decision, the litigation can proceed in Hidalgo County courts. Regarding the alleged cause of her death, Larissa Rodríguez's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Glazer’s Beer and Beverage, the company that, according to the lawsuit, distributes energy drinks to H-E-B stores in the Rio Grande Valley. Following this judicial announcement, the case remains ongoing, and it will be up to a court to determine if there is legal liability on the part of the defendant company.
