Dayle Koch, 16, died after inhaling butane gas.
Partygoers attempted to revive Perth teenager Dayle Koch by slapping her across the face before taking her to hospital 22 minutes after collapsing from inhaling butane gas, a coroner has been told.
According to a report on news website PerthNow, the Perth Coroner's Court yesterday heard Dayle's eyes rolled back in her head immediately after inhaling the gas in a friend's car in Kelmscott park on May 13, 2006.
But instead of calling an ambulance or taking her to hospital, the 16-year-old was taken back to a nearby party.
People at the party slapped Dayle, pumped her chest and threw cold water at her in an attempt to revive her before putting her in a bath.
She was then taken to Armadale Hospital at 11.40pm, 22 minutes after falling unconscious.
Dayle was pronounced dead 20 minutes later.
Alcohol and cannabis were also found in her system.
Several witnesses are set to testify they saw Dayle inhale butane at the house before her fatal trip to the park with several friends.
The court also heard Dayle bought two cans of butane, chocolates and cigarettes with her debit card at a Kelmscott BP outlet before the party.
Police later found four cans of butane, including one half-full, at the party house.
Dayle's family claim the aspiring make-up artist was too responsible to voluntarily take butane and was being bullied into taking the gas.
Butane gas, commonly sold for cooking and camping, is known to create a mood-altering emotional high when inhaled.
just so so sad, drunk stoned and inhaling butane
and so sad that her friends didnt know what to do either.... and i find it hard to believe she was such an angel as her parents say, drunk and high sounds to me like she is no angel...
