This is the tragic moment a mother kissed her daughter goodbye moments before she is thought to have become the first Briton to die after eating a cannabis sweet, Daily Mail of UK reported.
Damilola Grace Olakanmi, a 23-year-old law student who lived in Ilford, East London, fell ill immediately after eating just one sweet laced with the drug.
On Thursday, a photo showing the mother, Wunmi, tenderly kissing her daughter, who can be seen in a hospital bed with tubes taped to her face, was released by the family.
The University of Hertfordshire student bought the ‘gummies’ using a messaging app on her phone and had them delivered to her home the same day. A 21-year-old friend visiting from America also became gravely ill after the pair each had one sweet.
An ambulance was called to the property at 11.30 pm on March 29. Miss Olakanmi was taken by air ambulance to Queen’s Hospital in Romford in critical condition.
Her mother, aged 51, kept a vigil by her bedside until she lost her fight for life on Saturday.
Doctors were able to save her friend, who was later discharged.
