When I was in my last year at school, someone else in my year

He was overcome by the fumes and collapsed into the bowl of paint
stripper. I don't know what happened, and he didn't reappear at
school before I left.

Thanks, have found data on it, its one of the high risk ones. From what
the MSDS says, it would be hard to see how your colleague could have
survived, unless help was at hand.
