A "bubbly and popular" mum tragically died after taking cocaine in a "one-off" decision on a night out. Holly Dakin passed away in her sleep following a "sudden cardiac event", an inquest into her death heard.
A coroner ruled that her sudden passing was "drug related" and the result of a possible underlying cardiac-related disease. The heartbreaking news came as a shock to her mum and dad Robert and Rosemary Dakin, who described their daughter as "everyone's fun friend".
They attended the Nottingham inquest with Holly's boyfriend and close friends, and said "all of us didn't have a clue". Paying tribute to the mum-of-four, Mr Dakin said: "She was bubbly and everyone's fun friend. She was popular.
"She was living in Wilford with her four children."
Holly' boyfriend, Aaron White, 41, lived with her and the children and described her as "amazing, caring, kind, an amazing mum and girlfriend".
"We were happy as a family. We went to Egypt on holiday and came back for four weeks and were then going to Turkey. We had a good relationship.
"She didn't take drugs. She went to the wrong place that night. The drug-taking that night was a one-off thing. We had planned for her 30th."
The inquest was called because there was an unnatural aspect to Holly's death after cocaine was found in her system at the time, and what impact that had had on her heart. According to toxicology tests, the 29-year-old had less than twice the legal limit of alcohol in her system to drive a car, alongside cocaine and a product often used to cut cocaine.
The level of cocaine was not considered to be at a toxic one. Tests showed on the "balance of probabilities" what led to a "sudden cardiac event" was an irregular heartbeat.
