Natasha Lechner had applied the toxins of an Amazonian tree frog to burns on her skin on several occasions, but according to court testimony from the last person who saw her alive, her reaction was alarming.
quoted Sinclair as saying that Lechner “had done her training, she was really in a way showing what she had learned,” adding that Lechner “had quite a high threshold for the medicine.”
Sinclair said Lechner first used an incense candle to make three small burns on Sinclair’s left calf and one on her left ear. She then applied the Kambo which provoked a strong reaction, with Sinclair describing womb cramping that was “not necessarily normal.” Sinclair said she then began purging within 15 minutes.
Sinclair explained that she then made five burns on Lechner and applied the Kambo. That’s when Lechner became unwell, said “It’s not good,” and fainted as she tried to sit up. Lechner also started murmuring and her lips turned blue. Sinclair also said her friend’s hands began twitching and her breathing became labored.
As the situation deteriorated, Sinclair said she performed CPR on Lechner and told the court that she didn’t know Australia’s 000 emergency phone number, nor did she have a phone on her person at the time. An ambulance was only called when Sinclair’s roommate came home later. Although paramedics arrived within five minutes of the call, Lechner couldn’t be saved.
Medical Director at the NSW Poisons Information Centre Darren Roberts said Lechner’s death was most likely caused by an acute cardiac event, and that Kambo probably played a role. He added that Lechner had a “perfect heart” and showed no evidence of heart disease, and that he believed she “saw Kambo as complementary to mainstream medicine.”
