A seriously-ill woman died of a cocaine binge just weeks before she was due to have a life-changing kidney transplant from her husband, according to a recent inquest. Emma Carolan had been a patient of crippling renal disease for two decades and was supposed to receive a kidney from her husband, Daniel.

According to the inquest, Emma had to undergo a kidney transplant as a teenager and needed constant dialysis to survive. But just a month before her life-altering kidney transplant operation, the 33-year-old was found dead on her bathroom floor at her former home in Portsmouth.
