Mix of drugs killed woman after party

Tuesday 09 February 2016

A woman who collapsed and died outside the Grand Hotel in October was killed by a mix of prescribed morphine and ecstasy.

Tania Hurley (42) collapsed outside the hotel in the early afternoon of Sunday 11 October – although she was taken straight to hospital, doctors were unable to save her life.

She had been attending a party at the hotel the night before.

An inquest into her death has found that it was caused by morphine that she had been prescribed for pancreatitis, on top of which she took other drugs including ecstasy.

Just after Tania died, police said that there were no suspicious circumstances.
