Looking good is one sure way to fire up your psyche, but then like everyother thing, too much of anything turns bad. This young lady lost her life due to the fact that she wanted to look good always. It's so sad and we need to learn from it. Read below how hair extensions caused her death.
A woman died from a massive allergic reaction that could
have been caused by the glue in her hair extensions, a pathologist said
yesterday.
Atasha Graham, 34, who had used hair extensions for 14
years, collapsed after clubbing until the early hours.
Home Office pathologist Michael Heath told the inquest into
her death that the latex glue used to apply her extensions – or the solvent for
removing old ones – may have been to blame.
He added: ‘I’ve seen cases where people using solvent to
apply extensions has actually caused anaphylactic shock.
Dr Heath told the hearing at Southwark Coroner’s Court in
London: ‘The hair extensions in Atasha’s hair were of a latex type. This may or
may not be related [to her death]. If it is the hair extension, normally a reaction
would occur within half an hour of applying them.’
But he added that traces of glue or solvent could have
seeped into her bloodstream hours later after she started perspiring on the
dancefloor.
He ruled out reactions to food and alcohol and said there
were no drugs in her system.
On May 15 last year, Jamaican-born Miss Graham had been
dancing at a club where her boyfriend, Fenton Johnson, was the DJ.
Mr Johnson said Miss Graham, one of nine children, was fine
until she stepped through the doorway of their home in Lee, south-east London,
at 6.30am, then suddenly collapsed and stopped breathing.
He called an ambulance and tried to resuscitate her as 999
operators gave him first aid instructions over the phone. But she never properly regained consciousness
and died later in hospital.
A post-mortem failed to find any abnormalities with her
organs or substances which could have caused her death.
