The families of teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles have been "blown away" by the support of the public after their fundraising goal was surpassed overnight.

The father of Bianca Jones has issued a plea to the Laos government after she died from suspected methanol poisoning following a night out.

The family of a young Australian girl who died in hospital after falling critically ill from a mass methanol poisoning in Laos has urged the local government to prevent other lives from being lost. Bianca Jones died in a Thailand hospital on Thursday, and her friend Holly Bowles’ family confirmed her death the next day.

The Laotian government has promised to bring perpetrators to justice after a mass poisoning that has killed six tourists including two Australians.

Five people have now died as a result of suspected methanol poisoning at a local bar in Vang Vieng, Laos, including the 19-year-old Melburnian. The president of the AFL club both poisoned Australian teenagers played for in Melbourne has spoken out in the wake of 19-year-old Bianca Jones' tragic death on Thursday.

Mark Jones says the government of Laos cannot let his daughter's death be in vain, after the 19-year-old girl fell ill and died from methanol poisoning.

The father of a Melbourne teenager who died of suspected methanol poisoning from drinks served in Laos said his daughter was a victim for her 'lust for life and adventure''.
