A major investigation is underway after 5 deaths and a non-deadly heart attack linked to highly caffeinated Monster Energy drinks.

The news follows last week's wrongful death suit.

It was filed by the parents of a 14-year-old girl in Maryland.

She died after drinking two, 24-ounce Monster beverage drinks in 24 hours.

An autopsy shows she died of heart arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity.

She also had an inherited disorder that can weaken blood vessels.

Monster says it doesn't believe its products caused any deaths.
