Death by misadventure: Coroner rules in the death of Dublin teen

Over a year after the tragic death of Dublin teenager, Ana Hick, a coroner has recorded her death as 'death by misadventure'.

An inquest into Ana's passing heard that the Dun Laoghaire teen had taken three ecstasy pills before becoming ill outside the Twister Pepper nightclub on Middle Abbey Street last summer.

Witnesses testified that Ana has been 'on a good buzz' before her condition ultimately deteriorated and she collapsed on the city-centre street in May of last year.

According to 98FM, the inquest heard that Ana's lips turned blue and her eyes rolled to the back of her head before her legs gave way beneath her.

While reports initially circulated that Ana had fallen victim to a contaminated batch of drugs, officials dismissed this and confirmed that the Dublin teen had had abnormally high levels of MDMA in her system.

The Twisted Pepper closed its door late last summer before reopening as WigWam.
