Devastation struck when 13-year-old Esra Haynes succumbed to the dangerous trend of chroming, inhaling toxic chemicals to get high. Despite her active and healthy lifestyle, a poor decision during a sleepover proved fatal. Co-captain of Montrose Football Netball Club and a national aerobics champion, Esra’s life took a tragic turn on March 31. In an interview on A Current Affair, her parents, Andrea and Paul, revealed the heartbreak and the dire consequences of inhaling toxic substances.
“It was just the regular routine…” her mom expressed. When Esra inhaled aerosol deodorant, she went into cardiac arrest, leading to irreversible brain damage. Friends initially mistook her condition for a panic attack. Rushed to the hospital and put on life support, Esra’s parents faced the devastating choice to turn it off just eight hours later.
Esra’s siblings, Imogen, Seth, and Charlie, and the entire community are shattered. Andrea and Paul are now determined to raise awareness about the dangers of chroming, urging direct education to prevent further tragedies. Paul emphasized, “We need to ramp it up and let these kids find out the information first-hand.”
Chroming has claimed several lives, causing seizures, heart attacks, suffocation, sudden sniffing death, coma, and organ failure. The grief-stricken parents share their painful experience, hoping no other family endures such a heartbreaking loss. in the lower part we have the videos see it
