In a tragic turn of events, Ailisha Perdereau, 43, was found unresponsive in her Pontypridd home last November. An inquest heard she overdosed on paracetamol and other medications amidst personal struggles. Known for her work as a civil servant, Ailisha battled anxiety, depression, and epilepsy. Coroner Patricia Morgan concluded her passing as a suicide, highlighting the weight of personal stress she faced.
On November 1, 2024, Ailisha ingested significant amounts of paracetamol, sertraline, diazepam, and promethazine. These medications, used for pain relief, anxiety, and allergies, marked her intent. Despite being rushed to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and later the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, Ailisha’s condition deteriorated, leading to her passing on November 11.
