WEST Hull: A mother who was trying to "turn her life around" died at home after taking a drugs overdose.

Theresa Page, 38, of Dayton Road, west Hull, was a drug addict who had been trying to get help to overcome her addiction.

An inquest into her death heard she used drugs with her partner and was said to be finding it hard after her son was taken from their care.

A "substantial" amount of drugs including amphetamine, morphine and Oxycodone was found in her system after she collapsed at her home on July 3.

Dr Anne Campbell, a consultant histopathologist at Hull Royal Infirmary, who carried out the post mortem, said each of the three drugs independently would have been enough to cause death.

Coroner David Rosenberg recorded a narrative verdict, saying there was not enough evidence to rule suicide or accident. He said: "Her intention in taking the overdose is uncertain."

Speaking after the inquest, her mother Barbara Page said she will remember her daughter as being kind, clever and loyal.
