A young student is fighting for his life after accidentally eating rat poison while on his dream exchange programme.
Alex Shorey, 24, has been in the intensive care unit at Taipei Medical University Hospital in Taiwan since April 18 after inadvertently ingesting Super Warfarin - a strong poison.
It is not clear how he ingested the poison but his family believe it was from contaminated street food, the student's aunt Lizzy Shorey-Kitson said.
