A 'loving' and 'bubbly' mum found dead at a Stockport tower block had taken GHB in order to help her get to sleep, an inquest heard. Charlotte Ford, 35, was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of her flat in Offerton, which she shared with her partner of four years and their young son, last July.
After being unable to rouse her, her partner rang a drug dealer before calling for an ambulance a Coroner was told. John Ingram was initially arrested before detectives later concluded her death not to be suspicious.
A post-mortem found she had died as a result of the 'fatal combination' of three drugs – GHB, Methamphetamine and Codeine. A coroner said she believed Ms Ford may have used street drugs in a bid to deal with chronic pain she lived with after suffering a broken leg in an accident eight years ago.
