A mum and son who were found dead in their beds were described as "two gentle souls."
Jenny Smith, 37, and her 17-year-old son Joseph died at their home on Marmion Road near Sefton Park on February 22. An inquest into their death held at Gerard Majella Court on Thursday, September 15, heard how Jenny and Joseph were found dead two days after concerns were raised by a family member who hadn't heard from them for several days.
Toxicology tests showed the pair had both died from a massive overdose of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Since hearing the tragic news this week, dozens of people have paid tribute to Jenny and Joseph.
