Mother Dies from Unregulated Weight Loss Drops

Sarah Thompson, a 34-year-old mother from Connah's Quay, Wales, tragically died after taking weight loss drops containing Clenbuterol, a dangerous Class C controlled drug not approved for human consumption in the UK. Struggling with weight gain following throat cancer treatment, which left her unable to exercise, Sarah sought alternative measures for weight loss after failing to qualify for NHS-approved medication. She quickly lost over four stone but began experiencing severe symptoms like vomiting and heart palpitations before her death. Her family believes the unregulated 'skinny drops' caused her sudden passing, and they are awaiting test results to confirm the official cause. Sarah's sister, Gabriella, expressed that Sarah would not have used the drops had she known the risks, highlighting the need for awareness about the dangers of such unregulated substances.
