Overview

• Sabrina Lyttle’s body was discovered almost 48 hours after she entered the locked disabled cubicle at the Gurkha Hotel Pub and Restaurant when staff peered through the keyhole.
• Detective Inspector Liam Davy told the inquest his hypothesis was that she sought warmth inside the cubicle and died from drugs or a medical episode with no sign of outside involvement.
• Consultant forensic pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd warned that her short prison sentence likely reduced her drug tolerance and heightened overdose risk.
• Toxicology results presented at the hearing showed cocaine, Valium, methadone and a small amount of alcohol in Lyttle’s system.
• The coroner’s final ruling is pending as questions remain over the venue’s toilet access protocols and Lyttle’s medical and addiction history.
