There are two inquiries that starting from this week looking at deaths related to he use of ‘natural therapies’ in the Northern Rivers that are taking place at the Lismore Court.
From 1–5 May the NSW State Coroner, Magistrate Teresa O’Sullivan is presiding over the hearing on the death of ‘Natasha Lechner, 39, died at a home in Mullumbimby on 8 March 2019 after she went into cardiac arrest during a natural therapy procedure’.
At the time of Ms Lechner’s death it was ‘linked to the possible use of the poisoned frog secretions in a ceremony known as Kambo in media reports on the ABC’.
This will then be followed by a hearing on the death of Jarrad Antonovich from the 8 may who also died following what was alleged to be a ‘kambo related death’.
