Boy, 14, who died 'after inhaling deodorant in search of a cheap high' was found with spray cans lying around him
A 14-year-old boy has tragically died after inhaling deodorant fumes with friends in search of a cheap high, police have claimed.
Schoolboy Pheonix Werner died after he was found unresponsive inside a Norlane property in the northern suburb of Geelong in Victoria on Friday night.
Emergency services were called to the home about 7.50pm but the teenage boy was pronounced deceased at the scene. A Victorian Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia the death is not being treated as suspicious.
A coronial inquest will be required to determine the cause of death as police suspect the teenage boy died from deodorant chroming, the Herald Sun reported.
'To be quite honest, I've never heard of it before in my life... In my 17 years or so in the police force, I've never heard of that before,' Corio sergeant Dan Willsmore said.
'There were a number of cans of spray deodorant lying around, in the house, in the street and that was a bit peculiar.
'It just goes to show the dangers of doing anything to the extreme.'
Grieving family and friends have taken to social media to pay tribute to the young boy who was 'gone too soon' as a GoFundMe page is set up to raise money for his funeral service.
'A huge hole has been left in the hearts of family and friends of Pheonix Werner, who tragically passed away on the 15th of April, 2016,' a family member wrote.
'Pheonix was my beautiul [sic] cousin, who brightened up not only my life, but also the live's of everyone he met.
'As a family, we are seeking assistance to help cover the costs of Pheonix's funeral expenses. We want to give Pheonix the beautiful service and send off that he deserves, and allow everyone to come together to say goodbye before our precious boy rests peacefully in heaven.'
His cousin Chels Okeefe, who set up the fundraising page, has made an emotional tribute on social media, describing Pheonix as a 'beautiful' person.
'Last night feels like a very bad dream. It's hard to believe you'll never be coming back. You had your whole life ahead of you, and I really thought I'd get to watch you live it,'
'Rest peacefully my beautiful cousin, I love you endlessly. I'll always love and cherish you. Save a place for me up with the angels so we can meet again one day...'
Another family member Tayla Haig said she felt disheartened to learn that people would remember Pheonix as the '14 year old Geelong boy' who died from 'chroming'.
'You were meant to die a hero to everyone but for the ones who knew you like us your family do, you will always had passed a hero to us either way my sweetie,' she continued.
She also highlighted the dangerous risks of deodorant chroming and warned children about the potentially deadly act.
'Really push for all these young kids to not be doing this Croming [sic] business any longer,' she wrote.
'Just shows how fast it can take a life and there is no more needed to be taken after our beautiful boy Pheonix Werner has been.
'I thank all the people who were there to support myself and my family today, and pheonix's wonderful friends also, glad he has some true ones and ones who will remember him for him and the ones he didn't feel like he had to impress. It's so appreciated.
'Still within out hearts and in our thoughts. We all love you bud x.'
