A student died from a heart attack after a line of cocaine
She was just 24 years old
A Bristol university student died after taking a line of cocaine, her sister has revealed.
Lucy White was 24 when she died in hospital, after a line of cocaine triggered a heart attack and left her in a coma during 2018.
After her mother introduced her to cocaine, Lucy’s sister Stacey managed to get her clean before she relapsed again a few months before her death. She told the BBC: “I should have been more strict. You look back now and you’re like, ‘she was hiding from me. She was avoiding me for a reason.
“But could I see it? Maybe not. Did I want to see it? That’s maybe the question.”

Lewis explained how cocaine started to make him feel paranoid as he had delusions of his girlfriend cheating on him. He was spending “£200 to £300 a week” on the drug.
“It wasn’t making me happy at all,” he told the BBC. “It’s the worst paranoia I’ve had in my life.
“I’d be sat by my window, a car would pull up and I’d be looking over my shoulder. I’d fear my girlfriend was cheating on me.”
