An 18-year-old student who died within hours of arriving at university had mixed alcohol and ketamine, an inquest hears
A student who died within hours of arriving at university had mixed alcohol and ketamine, an inquest heard.
Pathologist Dr Nigel Cooper told the hearing at Newcastle Coroner's Court: "She had arrived in Newcastle from Northern Ireland the previous day, she had been with other occupants of her flat on that evening, alcohol had been consumed and there were indications that other substances may have been taken as well."
Dr Cooper said tests revealed she had 1.3mg of ketamine per litre of blood, below the level that would usually be considered fatal. Dr Cooper said it was impossible to specify when Miss Larmour died but told the hearing that ketamine - a drug used in medicine as an anaesthetic - could cause death "pretty quickly".Earlier, Miss Larmour's mother Sandra paid tribute to her, saying she flourished at school "with her huge personality, confidence and humour".The inquest heard Miss Larmour was an A* student who was popular with pupils, teachers and parents alike.
