I know a teenager that died from an accidental acetaminophen overdose. He had a cold so took Tylenol cold, which has acetaminophen, and then because he had a headache too, he took some extra-strength "regular" Tylenol. Turns out he was one of a small number of people that are particularly sensitive to acetaminophen and taking essentially a double-dose killed him in his sleep.
