A 'loving' mum who had studied to become a lawyer died after becoming addicted to the drug spice.
Nicola Little, 46, was described as 'pretty,' 'intelligent' and a dedicated mum. But her life was later devastated by drug addiction which she could not overcome. An inquest heard Nicola, from Hull, died at the Crossings homeless hostel after taking a combination of drugs including Spice and high levels of methadone.
In a statement reported by Hull Live, Nicola’s mum paid a moving tribute to her daughter, who had also been diagnosed with a rare blood condition. Her mum said: “Nicola has one brother who she remained very close to. She as always sporty when she was younger and loved football, going to games with her dad and brother. Our relationship was strong but it could be difficult as she struggled with drugs.”
