FIVE La Romaine High School students had to be taken to the hospital with a 17-year-old landing in the ICU on October 28 after ingesting an unknown substance believed to be contained in a bottle of juice while in school.

Reports said the 17-year-old ingested the substance around 10.50 am and became delirious. Police officers attached to the school took him to the staff room, where he then fainted. He was attended to by the officers, the school safety officer and the principal, who contacted his mother.

The teen was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital along with two 15-year-olds, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old who also ingested the substance. The other students were not warded.
