Halloween Sadism - The Death of Kevin Tostem

Timothy O'Brien, an eight-year-old boy, had swallowed enough cyanide to kill three grown men. The pixie sticks that Timothy had gulped down hadn't been spiked with Antbeit or Elaxative, or even heroin. Those other tubes of candy powder might be deadly as they were found to be laced with potassium cyanide. Fortunately their mother had objected to the mess-making and told her children they'd have to wait until morning when they could eat Halloween treats.
