Aspiring nurse died 'self-medicating with painkillers after weight loss surgery'


Alison Marie Young's family made the heartbreaking decision to turn her life support off on November 10, 2019, reports Hull Live. The 39-year-old began self-medicating with her husband’s pain relief medication, taking up to 30 tablets a week and drinking up to six bottles of wine a day, after having gastric bypass surgery, Hull Coroner's Court heard. But in fact Alison started drinking more and was consuming up to six bottles of wine a night as well as self-medicating with her husband’s prescription pain killers. Dr Victoria Jowett, a consultant clinician at Hull Royal Infirmary, said that on Alison’s arrival she suffered a multi organ failure. She died “a pain free and dignified death with family by her side” according to Dr Jowett.
