The sister of Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan died from multi-organ failure after taking a fatal dose of MDMA, a coroner's court has been told.
Inquest Reveals Tragic Details
Manchester Coroner's Court heard on Monday that Darci Rose Gibson passed away in October. The preliminary hearing was told that toxicology tests discovered "high levels" of the drug crystal MDMA in her system.
The court was informed that the tragedy occurred following a night out at the prominent Warehouse Project nightclub in Manchester. It is understood that Darci had mixed the substance into her drink during the evening.
A Night Out Ends in Tragedy
The inquest, which was opened and adjourned for further investigation, confirmed the direct medical cause of death. Multi-organ failure triggered by the MDMA overdose was formally recorded.
Darci Rose Gibson was the younger sister of Holly Hagan, who found fame on the long-running MTV reality series Geordie Shore. Holly has previously shared heartfelt tributes to her sister on social media following the devastating loss in autumn of this year.
Ongoing Investigation and Warnings
The case highlights the severe dangers associated with drug use, particularly with substances of unknown purity and strength. Manchester authorities continue to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the acquisition of the drug.
The coroner's court will reconvene at a later date to complete the inquest, which will examine all evidence in detail. The adjournment allows for further reports and inquiries to be gathered.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the potentially lethal consequences of taking illegal substances, a message often echoed by health and police campaigns across the UK.
