Leah Betts (November 11, 1977 - November 16, 1995) was a schoolgirl from Latchingdon in Essex, England. She is notable for the extensive media coverage that followed her death several days after her 18th birthday, on November 11, during which she took an Ecstasy tablet, then collapsed four hours later into a coma, from which she did not recover.
Cathy Isford was on the verge of realizing her dreams. About to graduate from high school, serving as a teacher's aide to help achieve her goal of a career in teaching, and caught up in the excitement of planning her wedding.
She and her fiancée had given up raves and party drugs because one night, when they left a rave party they noticed a line of ambulances outside, waiting to rush drug victims to medical attention. For two years, she stayed away from anything unhealthy. But then, as her senior prom approached, against the wishes of her fiancée and friends, she decided to take Ecstasy one more time for prom.
She was one of 38 prom-goers that night to take Ecstasy. The other 37 woke up the next morning to celebrate a new day. Not Cathy. Her desire to make her prom special by taking designer drugs sunk her into a coma four hours after she took the drug. She never regained consciousness. With her family, fiancé and friends at her side, she fought to survive, but by the second day she was declared brain dead, and there was nothing anyone could do but mourn. She was buried in her prom dress.
