    Reporter, BBC East Midlands Today

    Abby Swinfield, 18, had a condition known as MCAD deficiency, which stopped her body from converting certain fats into energy and required her to eat regularly.

    As a result of this she became increasingly unwell and had a cardiac arrest en route to the hospital in Sutton Coalfield where she was put in an induced coma before she later died.

    The coroner said her death was a combination of the overdose and this existing condition.
