Psych Student Jennifer Whiteley Dies Of Drug OD While Celebrating New Job Aiding Drug UsersBy Jonathan Vankin, Thu, November 28, 2013A 27-year-old woman in England who was in training to be a psychologist and had already published articles in a medical journal, died of a drug overdose while she was celebrating her new job — working with drug users.A coroner’s inquest in South Manchester found this week that in July, Jennifer Whiteley had nine different drugs in her system, including a so-called “legal high” known as Benzo Fury, when she broke into profuse sweats and collapsed with a rapid heartbeat at her parents’ home in Greater Manchester while partying with her 29-year-old boyfriend, Andrew Tunnah.In addition to ingesting Benzo Fury — and amphetamine-like “designer drug” which Whiteley reportedly purchased over the internet before it was outlawed in the U.K. — she had been drinking vodka and snorting cocaine.The day before, she was offered a job with a division of Britain’s National Health Service — the country’s government-run health care system — where she would help patients who abused drugs and also those who suffered from depression.
A Darwinian event.
