The family of a mum-of-six who was found collapsed on her kitchen floor have been told they will never know exactly why she died.
Karen Atkin, 54, from Hull, had a known history of heroin abuse as well as lung disease, epilepsy and mental health problems.
Blood samples could not be taken due to the risk they pose to some patients with critical oxygen levels. ‘She suffered a heart murmur and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease . She had got herself clean of the gear [drugs] but still took crack cocaine sometimes and regularly smoked. ‘In the last three years before she died she was addressing her heroin addiction and went on a methadone programme. She rarely sought help for her medical conditions and just got on with it but her day-to-day life was greatly affected by her health.
