A former English teacher who died following an overdose, had presented at the emergency department of a hospital 28 times in the six months leading up to her death, an inquest has heard.
Kimberley Drinnan, 35, suffered liver failure after taking a “significant quantity” of over-the-counter painkillers in September 2019. More than three years on from her death, an inquest has been held at Bolton Coroner’s Court today (Wednesday October 5).
Kimberley’s mum Kathleen Drinnan told the court that her daughter grew up in Kearsley and went on to study Japanese at Liverpool John Moores University. After graduating, Kimberley moved to Japan to teach English and lived there for around 10 years.
