ADVERTISEMENT Police spokesman Gde Sugianyar said that 20 others fell ill and were hospitalized after consuming home-brewed rice liquor, arak. He said two people had been detained in connection with the poisonings. American Rose Johnson, Briton Alan Colen, Rene Puper from the Netherlands and Rachel Craig from Ireland were among the dead, Ida Bagus Putu Alit, chief of forensics at Bali's Sanglah Hospital, told The Associated Press. Speaking separately to The Jakarta Post, Alit said 48-year-old Johnson died Monday at Sanglah Hospital and that she had shown symptoms typically caused by drinking alcohol mixed with methanol. He did not list the symptoms. Colen, 59, died Saturday at the same hospital after drinking arak he had bought from a stall near his home in Kuta, the English-language newspaper said. Blood and urine samples have been sent to the National Police Laboratory in Denpasar to determine the exact cause of their death, the report said. Puper, 23, and 25-year-old Craig died Sunday on the neighboring island of Lombok after drinking homemade palm wine, local official Zainuddin told the AP. The pair were rushed to hospitals in the town of Mataram after they were seen staggering late Saturday, he said. Like many Indonesians, Zainuddin goes by a single name. Police were investigating their deaths, he said. Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, can be used for fuel and is an ingredient in formaldehyde as well as plastics and paints. Alcohol is heavily taxed in Indonesia, the world's most-populous Muslim nation, and the high prices have spawned a huge black market for wine and liquor.
