Hungarian pálinka saved a suicidal woman’s life!

A woman was trying to commit suicide together with her roommate, but her life was saved by drinking pálinka. Now, she is being charged for participation in suicide. 

Planned suicide

The accused in her sixties shared a room with the victim in a rest home in Somogy county, Hungary, as index.hu reports. As the roommates felt equally hopeless, they decided to end their lives together.

In October 2019, they went to a gas station where they bought antifreeze. After that, they went home and both of them drank the toxic liquid. However, one of the women also drank two deciliters of pálinka before going to sleep.

As 24.hu says, the antifreezer was the idea of the accused.

Pálinka saved her life

Despite professional care in the hospital, the victim’s life could not be saved. However, the poison of the antifreezer did not have a deadly effect on the other woman.

Due to the consumed alcohol, the antifreeze was absorbed in lower concentrations in her body. If she had not drank pálinka, she would no longer be alive, either.

The Marcali District Prosecutor’s Office has indicted a woman who survived the poisoning in a joint suicide attempt, in which her friend died. In their indictment filed with the Marcali District Court, the prosecutor’s office filed a suspended prison sentence against the accused with no criminal record.
