Addict’s body to be exhumed

THE parents of English drug addict Rachel Whitear were last night hoping their decision to allow the exhumation of her body would finally solve the mystery of her death.

The remains of the 21-year-old student from Herefordshire will undergo a post-mortem examination four years after her death as part of a re-investigation by police.

It was originally thought Ms Whitear took a fatal heroin overdose at her Devon bedsit.
