An English teacher who died of an overdose had attended an A&E department 28 times in the six months before her death, an inquest was told. Kimberley Drinnan, 35, had taken a "significant quanitity" of over-the-counter painkillers which led to liver failure in September 2019.
More than three years after the tragedy, an inquest was held at Bolton Coroner's Court yesterday (Wednesday October 5). Kimberley’s heartbroken mum Kathleen Drinnan told the court that her daughter had grown up in Kearsley before enrolling at Liverpool John Moores University to study Japanese.
Following her graduation, Kimberley moved to Japan where she found work as an English teacher and lived there for roughly 10 years, Manchester Evening News reports. However, after suffering a variety of “personal issues” - which Mrs Drinnan did not expand on - Kimberley returned to Bolton in 2017.
