An NHS worker who previously saved a man's life while off-duty has tragically died after taking heroin, a coroner's court heard.
Adele Sheppard, 34, was a health care assistant at Rotherham General Hospital and also helped a man who was subjected to a serious assault in February 2019. Despite this, she had a difficult personal life which she tackled by seeking help for heroin and crack cocaine.
Doncaster Coroners Court heard how Adele was an 'outgoing and bubbly[ woman who was surrounded by a large friendship group. She was also popular at work, however, colleagues had voiced concerns about her 'going downhill' before her eventual death on May 7, 2021, Yorkshire Live reports.
