A promising student died on her first night at university after consuming a lethal mix of alcohol and ketamine, a coroner has ruled. Jeni Larmour's lifeless body was found just hours after she arrived to study at Newcastle University.
The 18-year-old, from Newtonhamilton, Northern Ireland, drank alcohol with her new flatmates between 5pm and 7pm on October 3, 2020. Later in the evening, with her judgement "impaired", she sniffed a quantity of ketamine with new flatmate Kavir Kalliecharan.
Giving evidence at Newcastle Coroner's Court on Tuesday, Mr Kalliecharan said he was left sick by the drug and vomited for hours before falling asleep. He woke to find Ms Larmour lying lifeless and face down on his bedroom floor at about 5am.
