One man died after ingesting large amounts of caffeine powder. He consumed around 200 cups of caffeine within a short time.

Tom Mansfield (29), was a father to two children and a personal coach. He may have taken the caffeine as an performance enhancer. Gym-goers often take caffeine to increase their performance and fat-burning. However, it should be used in the recommended dosages.

Inquests revealed that Mansfield committed a terrible error in using scales that measured grams, not milligrams as the recommended dosage range for powder. This led to a fatal overdose.
