A young Dublin woman was found dead in her bedroom by her mother last year after she had taken drugs while out socialising the night before.

An inquest into the death of Laura Bermingham-McCrossan (21) heard evidence that she had been given cocaine by a stranger in a pub but felt particularly strange after consuming cannabis jellies later that night. However, autopsy results showed no trace of the cannabis in the deceased’s body.
