69 people are dead, and 170 others are ill in Mozambique, after drinking a common African beer, called Pombre.

The victims affected are suspected to have attended a funeral for a newborn baby in the Chitima District. The child's mother is the one who brewed the beer, and unfortunately, is among the dead.

The toxic brew is thought to have been made with crocodile bile, which is the bile produced from a crocodile's liver and then stored in its gallbladder. According to Mozambique’s Health, Women and Social Welfare Director Paula Bernardo, many people started to rush into the hospital suffering from diarrhea and muscle

Samples of both the homemade beer and blood of the victims have been sent to a lab to be tested. Even though they are waiting for the test results, many people do believe it was the toxic bile that poisoned all these people.
