'Don't make the same choice': Coroner's plea after death of woman (24) on birthday night out
"Coroner's stark warning at inquest into death of young Belfast woman who took lethal mix of alcohol, ketamine and cocaine on birthday night out A coroner has warned that anyone thinking of taking drugs this festive season is playing a dangerous game of "Russian roulette" after finding a young Belfast woman died of a lethal mix of alcohol, ketamine and cocaine."
"During an inquest into the death of 24-year-old Chloe Ferris at Laganside Courthouse yesterday, Joe McCrisken said the combination means users are "20 times more likely" to die."
A 24-year-old Belfast woman, Chloe Ferris, died after consuming a lethal combination of alcohol, ketamine and cocaine on a birthday night out. The combination of these substances greatly increases the risk of fatality; users are about twenty times more likely to die when mixing them. The fatal mixture included alcohol, ketamine and cocaine. The death was examined at Laganside Courthouse during proceedings. The elevated risk from combining depressant and stimulant substances creates unpredictable effects on breathing and heart function, significantly raising the likelihood of a fatal outcome during or after use.
