The delay in dispatching an ambulance to Christine Lackmann – found to have dangerously high levels of caffeine – was a factor in her death, coroner rules
An Australian woman died of caffeine overdose after waiting more than seven hours for an ambulance, a coroner has ruled, saying that the delay was a factor in her death.
Biomedical student Christina Lackmann, 32, was found dead in her Melbourne flat in April 2021. Her death was caused by an overdose of caffeine tablets, Coroner Catherine Fitzgerald found earlier this month, according to media channel news.com.au on Tuesday.
Lackmann had called the emergency line for help just before 8pm on April 21, 2021, saying she felt dizzy and numb, and could not get up from the floor. “Please hurry,” she said.
