14-Year-Old Girl Dies After Inhaling Computer Duster

NBC Southern California
A 14-year-old honor student from Northridge died this week after inhaling computer keyboard cleaner, a growing trend among students as young as eighth grade. "I'm positive my daughter didn't realize it had the potential to kill her," Carolyn Doherty said. A straight-A student at Nobel Middle School, Aria Doherty died Monday. She’d been home alone for a couple hours when she inhaled the duster. Her parents believe it was her first time huffing – also known as bagging or dusting.
