'Diet pills' inquest: Eloise Parry 'made a bad choice', says mother

An inquest has found that Eloise Aimee Parry, who took highly toxic "diet pills" purchased online, died as a result of an accidental drugs overdose.

The 21-year-old from Shrewsbury died in hospital on 12 April after becoming unwell.

Police said the tablets were believed to contain dinitrophenol, known as DNP, an industrial chemical.

Speaking after the inquest, Eloise's mother Fiona Parry warned others about the dangers.

"Looking good should never cost you your health or your life," she said. "DNP: Do Not Purchase."
