The Metro reports on 25 year-old fitness instructor Donna Bishop, who died after overdosing on over-the-counter cold medication when she fell ill last Christmas. A tragic reminder that even widely available drugs can easily be harmful if not taken with care..

She had been suffering for a cold two weeks before her death and, according to her friend Siobhan Dunn, whom she visited in Scotland before Christmas, she was taking ‘high’ quantities of over-the-counter drugs and had been sick several times.
