" In August of 2009, a news article appeared in the Vanuatu Daily Post and on

cruising & health related websites discussing MMS. It related a story of the

sudden death of a visiting yachtswoman in Vanuatu, after she reportedly ingested

two drops of a solution called MMS (Master Mineral Solution). A number of

yachts people had reported positive health benefits after ingesting from 1 to 15

drops of the (properly activated) solution themselves. Their reports had raised

this cruiser's interest to try the product herself. She was violently ill and

died unexplainably 12 hours after she ingested that very small MMS dose. An

autopsy was performed by an Australian Pathologist on August 22, 2009, and

tissue/fluids samples were taken for analysis in Australia. Everyone involved

wanted to know to exact causes of death.

Until a proper investigation would be conducted, only suppositions could be

raised. But, before the autopsy report was in, more news articles appeared in

Port Vila, Sydney, and on health related websites discussing MMS. These

articles inferred that MMS was a deadly poison and was responsible for that

death, and insinuated that the fellow yachtsmen from whom she asked her bottle

of MMS, were trafficking in unauthorized deadly substances in Vanuatu. Questions

were raised as to the inordinately long amount of time for the authorities to

finish the autopsy and release it to the husband. Questions were also raised as

to the competency of the Australian Federal Police, the Vanuatu Police, the

Australian pathologist, the n Institute of Forensic Medicine, and the

Vanuatu Prosecutor's Office. Ultimately the husband of the deceased filed a

complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman in Port Vila against the Vanuatu

Police Force (VPF).

The yachtsmen involved in the events gave testimonials at one time or another to

the police, prosecutor office and Ombudsman. After a lengthy investigation and

the complete autopsy report, the case had been closed. The Public Prosecutor

made a determination on the file and decided not to prosecute any person in

connection with that death. That decision was based on the following:

- At the time the bottle of MMS was supplied on 3 August 2009, no

reasonable person could conclude that anyone intended to cause death or serious

injury to any person.

- Based on the evidence of the pathologist, the cause of death did not

show that death was due to MMS.

- MMS is not considered a dangerous drug under the Dangerous Drug Act.
