It was late at night when a group of people inside a wellness retreat on the main street of a small Victorian town sipped on a drink.

One of the group, Rachael Dixon, 53, fell ill and died at the scene. Two other people, who were with her at Soul Barn in Clunes, were taken to hospital and were later discharged.
