A mum from Hull who was training to become a lawyer has tragically died after falling into drug use, including the toxic chemical spice.
Former Hull University law student Nicola Little was described as "intelligent and loving", pretty, bright and a dedicated mum - yet her drug addiction proved too difficult to overcome.
An inquest in Hull heard Nicola, 46, had worked for Hull City Council as a housing officer and business support officer, when she died at the Crossings homeless hostel, after taking a lethal drug cocktail of Spice and high levels of methadone.
