Popstars singer Darius Campbell nearly died after showing off a charity's new water filter by drinking straight from the river Thames.
Campbell found himself at deaths door after promoting the bottle made by not-for-profit body Fresh2o.
It sells the bottles which remove 99.9 per cent of pathogens, bacteria and viruses to finance its drive to help people in countries such as Madagascar.
But a near-fatal blunder saw the singer songwriter using a display bottle whose filter had been removed.
After collapsing with bacterial meningitis and severe brain swelling the 37-year-old Glaswegian was placed in a coma, waking to find his mother Avril Danesh herself undergoing chemo and radiotherapy for breast cancer in tears at his bedside.

One word from an old wilderness boy
Iodine
It tastes like shiiite but works
I don’t know if this method works, but my grandfather (I’m 62) SAID TOBACCO JUICE WOULD KILL INTESTINAL WORMS...................
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
That must be the POST OF THE DAY!!!!!!.................
Well he was drinking 100%.. used one where the filter had been removed...
What happens if you fall into the Thames?
No filter, so 0.0 per cent of of pathogens, bacteria and viruses were removed. In this case, it's that 100% that'll kill ya!
Excellent!
Chateau de Thames...an amusing vintage, with strong musky undertones and a top note of urea...
Did he not notice the green foaming frappe tasted “poorly”?
[ If you use the bottle without the filter it removes 0 per cent of pathogens, bacteria and viruses. ] That is true, however leaving out the filter lets/makes the body get rid of 100% of the gunk and also saves money.
Some Barrister will claim that the bottle should have had a label clearly warning not to use it without a filter installed.
“What happens if you fall into the Thames?”
Just walk back to shore. Did you mean to say “onto”?
