'Loving' mum who became addicted to Spice died after taking cocktail of drugs

A 'loving' mum-of-six who studied to become a lawyer died after becoming addicted to toxic chemical cannabis Spice. Former law student Nicola Little was described as a dedicated mum, but her life was later blighted by the addiction which she could not overcome.

An inquest in Hull heard Nicola, 46, who had worked for Hull City Council, died at the city's Crossings homeless hostel after taking a combination of drugs including Spice and high levels of methadone. In a statement Nicola’s mum paid a touching tribute to her daughter, explaining how she had so much to live for, reports HullLive.

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.”
