Moyra Capon, 47, was found dead in her home, with her death linked to drug use and a heart condition
Kintbury: A tragic story unfolded when Moyra Capon, a 47-year-old woman, was found dead in her kitchen. Friends discovered her lifeless body on February 25 last year. It was a shocking moment for everyone who knew her.
During the inquest, police confirmed there was no foul play involved. Instead, they revealed that her death was likely due to a heart condition exacerbated by cocaine and methadone use. It’s heartbreaking to think about how drugs can take someone away so suddenly.
Stephanie Williams, a close friend, shared that she last saw Moyra just two days before her death. They had enjoyed a few beers together after shopping. When Stephanie couldn’t reach her later, she grew worried and sought help from others.
With a ladder, Joe Clough climbed in through a window to get inside. What they found was devastating. Moyra was lying on the kitchen floor, and despite calling for help, it was too late. Emergency services confirmed there was nothing they could do.
Authorities noted a bruise on her head but ruled out any suspicious circumstances. A post-mortem revealed a mix of prescription drugs, cocaine, and unprescribed methadone in her system. It’s a stark reminder of the dangers of drug use.
The inquest highlighted that while Moyra had previously used drugs, she wasn’t addicted to heroin at the time. This made her more susceptible to a fatal overdose. The pathologist explained that the combination of substances likely led to a deadly heart arrhythmia.
In the end, the coroner concluded that Moyra’s death was indeed drug-related. It’s a tragic loss for her friends and family, and it serves as a cautionary tale about the risks associated with drug use.
