The tragic deaths of Greta Otteson, 33, and her fiancé Arno Quinton, 36, from methanol poisoning in Vietnam have prompted calls for urgent action. The couple was found dead on Boxing Day 2024 in their Hoi An villa after consuming toxic limoncello, a Christmas gift purchased by Greta’s parents. Post-mortem examinations confirmed acute methanol poisoning as the cause of death. In February, a local barman was arrested and charged with violating food safety regulations for allegedly producing the contaminated drink using medical-grade alcohol. Methanol, a toxic substance found in cleaning products and antifreeze, is cheaper than ethanol but highly dangerous when ingested. Greta’s father, Paul Otteson, expressed frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation and urged UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to raise the case during his meeting with Vietnam’s General Secretary Tô Lâm. Ann Davies, the family’s MP, has also written to Sir Keir, emphasizing the need for Vietnamese authorities to prioritize the case and ensure justice for the victims. The Otteson family, devastated by the loss, continues to seek answers and accountability, highlighting the broader risks of methanol poisoning for travelers in Vietnam.
