Woman 'died in fall at hotel after taking cannabis jelly'

A coronor has issued a warning about the risks associated with taking cannabis infused jellies following an inquest into the death of a US citizen who died after she fell two storeys at a hotel in Co Limerick a year ago.

Tragically, she fell to her death from the balcony of her room on the third floor onto the first floor of the Strand Hotel shortly after 3am that morning after other guests and hotel staff witnessed her in a very distressed and incoherent state in the hotel corridor. They also called gardaí and asked them to come to the hotel to assist with a woman believed to be intoxicated.

Pathologist Dr Gabor Laskai said toxicology reports found no alcohol in Ms Batchelder's system, but there was evidence of cannabis, and the anti depressant drug Citalopram, which was above the prescribed therapeutic level but not at toxic levels.Limerick Coronor John McNamara said this was a very tragic and distressing case, but he was not satisfied that the bar had been reached to indicate that what happened to Ms Batchelder was an intentional act.
