Officials in Laos have released the names of three tourists — including one American — who died of suspected methanol poisoning from drinking tainted alcohol.
James Louis Hutson, 57, of the US, and Anne-Sofie Orkild Coyman, 20 and Freja Vennervald Sorensen, 21, both Danish, were staying at the Nana hostel in Van Vieng, approximately two hours north of the nation's capital Vientiane, when they became ill.
