A couple died after drinking homemade beer to get around strict coronavirus lockdown restrictions on alcohol. Tony Hilliar, 54, and Alida Fouche, 42, had run out of their own supplies of alcohol when they opted to make a batch of home-brew beer in the Port Nolloth home in South Africa.
The country has imposed strict restrictions on the sale of alcohol since going into lockdown a number of weeks ago. It is believed both collapsed at their home after drinking a bottle of the brew each.
Estate agent Tony made a desperate call for help, but when emergency services arrived on scene, he was writing in agony on the floor while his wife Alida had already passed away.
