Cameron Kite, who allegedly administered the kambo – toxic secretions of an Amazonian frog – is due to appear before the inquest on Thursday, while the man who allegedly presided over the ayahuasca and organised the retreat, Soulore “Lore” Solaris, is the sole witness currently slated for Friday. Hope said she had taken part in more than 10 ayahuasca ceremonies led by Solaris since 2017 and had never before seen him ask someone else to administer “the medicine”.

After Antonovich died and Kite, Solaris and Cooper spoke to authorities at the scene, Hope said she comforted her partner who was “a mess”.
