Natalia Cruddas, 30, found unresponsive in Blakelaw. Combination of prescription and illegal drugs led to fatal outcome.
The police went to a house in Blakelaw on December 12, 2024. People reported a missing person. They found three people asleep inside. Natalia was thirty and wasn’t breathing.
CPR didn’t work, and she died at 3:21 p.m. People at the house said Natalia used alcohol and drugs for days. Tests found cocaine and other drugs in her system, and she didn’t have prescriptions for some medicines.
Her doctor said she had mental health issues before and used to get medication for it. In November, she wanted more medicine, but it was too early to increase the dose.
Natalia used drugs to forget bad memories and to help with her bad back pain. She got help for addiction since 2016 when she was 22, and she kept getting help until she died.
She worked well with her recovery person until 2020 and went to appointments often back then. In the last two years, she used more drugs and alcohol and stopped going to appointments as much.
The last appointment Natalia went to was October 17, 2024. She seemed sick and had a chest infection. She wore her pajamas to that appointment.
The coroner said Natalia died from drugs. She consumed prescription and illegal drugs. CPR failed, and the drugs killed her.
