A coronial inquest is underway in Adelaide to determine the circumstances surrounding the death of prominent fashion figure Carol Foord in June 2024. Evidence presented suggests Foord consumed magic mushrooms as part of an alternative therapy regimen. The inquest has heard claims that the individual providing the mushrooms misrepresented their nature and potential effects. Specifically, the provider, referred to as a “shaman,” allegedly falsely claimed the mushrooms were a safe and effective treatment. Foord’s family has expressed concerns regarding the advice and substances she received. The inquest aims to establish a timeline of events and determine if any unlawful acts contributed to her death. Findings from the inquest could lead to recommendations regarding the regulation of alternative therapies and the provision of misleading health information.
