An Australian woman died from a caffeine overdose in April 2021 after waiting nearly seven hours for an ambulance, an inquest has heard.
Christina Lackmann, 32, from Melbourne, was feeling dizzy and numb when she called emergency services. She didn’t receive any help and died alone in her bathroom hours later.
