Death linked to window cleaner

A woman suspected of drinking window cleaner spent 50 days in a coma before she died.

Natalia Jelagina, aged 53, of Buckingham Village, Dublin 1, and originally from Lithuania, died at the Mater Hospital on September 11, 2014. Her medical notes contain several references to the ingestion of window cleaner, though her partner denied she had been drinking that day.

Ms Jelagina, with a history of problems with alcohol, had been living in Ireland for 14 years, Dublin Coroner’s Court heard.
