Holly Hagan sister: Former Geordie Shore star's sister Darci Rose died of 'multi organ failure' after taking MDMA on night out

Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan’s sister, Darci Rose Gibson, died from multiple organ failure after an ‘MDMA overdose’, an inquest has heard.

The inquest opened at Manchester Coroner’s Court on Monday, where it was told the late 19-year-old had ‘high levels’ of drugs in her body as toxicology tests found. She died after a night out at Manchester’s Warehouse Project, where it is understood she mixed crystal MDMA into her drink, which led to an accidental drug overdose.

After she was rushed to the hospital suffering from a cardiac arrest, acting senior coroner, Zak Golombeck, confirmed Darci died at Manchester Royal Infirmary on October 20. ‘There was a suspicion at the time that she had taken illicit drugs. This was confirmed to the clinicians,’ the coroner revealed at the inquest.

‘Multi-organ failure’ and ‘MDMA overdose’ have been shared as the provisional cause of death, pending a full inquest. The inquest was adjourned to a later date. No further details were heard, and no date for a full inquest was set, according to the Daily Mail.

In a tribute post on Instagram after her death, Hagan wrote: ‘She lived in Darci world, forgetting to turn lights off, didn’t know how to lock doors after coming in from a night out, leaving the freezer open so my mam came down to a puddle of defrosted food.

‘…‘I don’t know if I’m behaving in a way I assumed I would when grieving but I genuinely feel she has given me so much strength and is watching over us all as our guardian angel.’
