Teen found dead on Spanish party island had five bags of drugs in her stomach
A PARTY-LOVING law student had five bags of ecstasy inside her stomach when she was found dead on holiday in Ibiza, an inquest heard.
Rebecca Brock, 18, was discovered with a pool of blood next to her head in a hotel room on September 28, 2015, after travelling to the party island for a friend’s birthday.
A police probe was launched because the amount of the drug in her system was “double the level” of a normal fatal dose, reports The Sun.
Her tearful mum Margarita Brock told Nottingham Coroners’ Court in the UK her daughter must have been forced to swallow the drugs.
She told the hearing Rebecca struggled swallowing pills.
“Spanish authorities say five bags were found which were wrapped with elastic bands,” she said.
“They said it would probably have been four hours before something happened.
“She wouldn’t take any pills easily — I can’t imagine that getting in her body at all.
“If she didn’t have to take a pill she wouldn’t do because she couldn’t swallow it. I can’t see any other way than someone making that happen.”
Ms Brock explained how her daughter wouldn’t tell her about her “weight issues” but was “quite open” about taking drugs including cocaine.
Rebecca was found unresponsive in her hotel room six days after she arrived on the Spanish party island of Ibiza.
Toxicologist Dr Stephen Morley said authorities found that she had died around 48 hours before she was found in her room.
“She would have died around half an hour from when [the ecstasy] entered her blood stream to when she died — that is working on the assumption that she has never taken it before,” he said.
“She would probably begin to feel very unwell.
“There was evidence of an acute MDMA dosage — a potentially fatal concentration.
“The most likely cause of death is ecstasy toxicity. The level of MDMA was double the reported fatal level.”
