The parents of a young mum did not have a clue their "bubbly and popular" daughter had taken cocaine before her sudden death. Their cherished child, Holly Dakin, died as a result of sudden and unexpected cardiac activity, most likely with a background of cardiac-related disease, an inquest into her death heard.
But the heartbreaking news for mum and dad, Robert and Rosemary Dakin, came as a shock. They spoke to Nottinghamshire Live after a coroner's conclusion found Holly's death was "drug-related".
"All of us didn't have a clue," said devastated Mrs Dakin, who attended the Nottingham inquest with her husband, their daughter's boyfriend, and close friends. Mr Dakin paid tribute to his daughter, adding: "She was bubbly and everyone's fun friend. She was popular. She was living in Wilford with her four children".
