A young mum died after an all-night cocaine and alcohol binge just weeks after a friend pleaded with her to go to rehab.
Dovile Ramutenaite, originally from Lithuania but lived in Middle Row, Maidstone, was found unresponsive by friend Anttoni Krasins at 5pm on Sunday, February 3.
The 25-year-old beauty therapist had messaged Mr Krasins the previous evening saying the was lonely before the two got together at his Sandling Lane flat for a night of drinking whisky and taking the class-A drug.
The pair stayed up all night until going to bed at 10am the following morning.
Mr Krasins found Miss Ramutenaite on the sofa. Her face was blue. At first he thought she was having a fit but after trying to open her mouth, realised she was not breathing and called an ambulance.
He performed CPR until paramedics arrived but she was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Police attended shortly afterwards and declared the death not suspicious.
A toxicology report revealed she had around four times the drink drive limit of alcohol in her blood along with cocaine, while a post mortem examination concluded she had died of alcohol and cocaine toxicity.
Miss Ramutenaite had migrated from her home country in 2004 before studying for her career at Mid Kent College.
In August last year, she stayed with a friend who noticed that her drinking and drug use were "particularly bad" and pleaded with her to go to rehab but eventually Miss Ramutenaite left.
A couple of weeks later she was found dead.
Bringing an inquest at Archbishop's Palace in Mill Street, Maidstone, to a close, coroner Sonia Hayes declared that it was a drug and alcohol related death and said: " I offer my sincerest condolences to Dovile's family."
