Liverpool Inquest Rules 19-Year-Old Student’s Rave Death Drug-Related After MDMA Use

Her registered organ donation provided lifesaving transplants for at least two people.

Overview

  • Coroner Helen Rimmer concluded the death was drug-related, citing MDMA intoxication causing acute liver failure and multi-organ failure.
  • Olivia Wojciechowska collapsed at a K-Pop Demon Hunters–themed event at Blackstock Market in Vauxhall on November 1, 2025, and was taken from a welfare tent to Royal Liverpool Hospital.
  • She was intubated, placed on a ventilator and dialysis, approved for a liver transplant on November 3, and transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham on November 5.
  • A CT scan indicated she was unlikely to survive, and she died on November 7 before a transplant could proceed.
  • As a registered donor, she gave her lungs and heart, and friends described extensive memorials and fundraising, including support for her repatriation to Northern Ireland for a December 12 funeral.
