Mozambique funeral beer poisoning

On 2015, authorities in  Mozambique reported that 69 people had died and nearly 200 were hospitalized after drinking contaminated beer at a funeral on . According to local officials, all of the people affected had consumed the local beer, pombe, which they said was likely poisoned with crocodile bile. However, a Forbes article opposed this hypothesis and instead pointed to the toxic flowering plant foxglove as the likely source of the poison. Local officials said that people who had consumed the beer complained about muscle pains and diarrhea. Samples of beer and blood were sent to the capital city of Maputo for laboratory testing.
