Psych Student Jennifer Whiteley Dies Of Drug OD While Celebrating New Job Aiding Drug Users
By Jonathan Vankin, Thu, November 28, 2013
A 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.

As my dear departed daddy used to say, "no use being dumb unless you show it"
Or, as my daughter's shop teacher says "stupid people do stupid things because they're stupid"

A Darwinian event.

A Darwinian event.
Agreed, but not Darwin Award quality ... there was nothing spectacular about her self-inflicted demise. My sympathies lie with her parents.
