N2 - Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare and unexpected condition, which is commonly related to drug ingestion and viral infections. Here, two ALF fatalities are presented, which showed a rapid progression between the onset of symptoms and death. Both cases gained attention as unusual substances were suspected to be the reason for the fatal ALF, namely the prescription-free natural remedy Iberogast® (Bayer Vital GmbH, Leverkusen, Germany) and freely available energy drinks. Autopsy findings revealed that the fatal ALFs were unrelated to the ingestion of these two substances.
