A dream-getaway has ended in a family's devastation today after the death of melbourne teenager Bianca Jones. The nineteen year old was staying at a backpackers hostel in Vang Vieng in Laos with her friend Holly Bowles, when both became critically ill after allegedly consuming poisoned drinks. Both were transferred to two separate hospitals in Thailand, Holly Bowels to one in Bangkok and Bianca Jones to another 8 hours north. Ms Jones is the fourth victim linked to the incident following the deaths of two Danish women and an American man.
