A 49-year-old barmaid 'suddenly' collapsed and died after believing she was spiked at a nightclub.
Cordelia Stemp told friends she felt something was 'seriously wrong with her' when she left Hampshire Boulevard nightclub in Portsmouth feeling unwell.
The mother of two texted her friend, Billy Marchant, who was with her on the night out, at 1.20am to say she had a 'pain' in her stomach and was 'sweating'.

When she arrived at her home in Portsmouth the 49 year old 'was not herself at all', and told her lodger and family friend Charlie Brown she 'felt like she had been spiked'.
She then collapsed, and even with her partner Roger Beaumont and Mr Brown attempting CPR, when the ambulance arrived paramedics found there was 'no sign of life'.
The 'much-loved' pub worker was later confirmed dead at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth on November 11.
This comes after a woman told how she was 'spiked by needle' at a Pitcher and Piano bar in Tunbridge Wells, that was forced to close when six other pub goers said they had also been drugged.
Casey Thompson was said she felt the 'room spinning' before she 'passed out', leading to a four-hour stay in hospital and HIV tests to stop her getting more ill.
She was enjoying her night out at the Pitcher and Piano on Church Road, Tunbridge Wells, when she felt 'a sharp pinch' and a red lump formed on her arm.
Several other people have also claimed they too were spiked or had their drinks tampered with on the same night, including a man who also ended up in hospital.
Marketing agent Casey shared her experience on Instagram and Facebook to raise awareness of the disturbing trend.

She said: 'I will post this as many times as it takes to spread awareness.
'The people that are doing this are sick.
'A normal Saturday night with friends turned into one surrounded by police and four hours in hospital.
'This happened in Tunbridge Wells Pitcher and Piano.
'It felt like a sharp pinch, I turned to look at my arm and there was a red lump, within seconds the room was spinning and I had passed out.
'Thank god @georgialello and @lydia-mallion was with me so nothing further happened.
'Now it's blood tests and HIV prep to stop me getting further ill.
'This has definitely stopped me going out. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, feel free to SHARE.'
Following Casey's complaint, Anthony Thomson also posted on Facebook about his horror night out at the venue in the middle class commuting town of Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
He said: 'Hi all, just thought I'd make a quick post to spread some awareness.
'On Saturday night I was spiked via an injection at Pitcher & Piano in Tunbridge Wells.
'I blacked out for around four to five hours and have limited memory of what happened.
'After going to the police in the morning it came to light that two other girls had also been injected on the same night in the same venue.

'You'd never think this sort of thing would happen in your hometown, especially to a bloke so just keep an eye on your mates if they start acting differently in any way.'
After the complaints were received, the Pitcher and Piano was temporarily closed by the owners.
Portsmouth barmaid Cordelia Stemp's 23 year old daughter, Yolanda Stemp, said it was peculiar for her mother to go home alone and she must have felt 'awful' to take herself home in a taxi.
Ms Stemp said the family feels 'overwhelmed' by the sudden death and the troubling circumstances, as well as the community's response.
The ferry company worker said: 'She texted [her friend] on her way home, saying she didn't feel well at 1.15am.
'At 1.20am she texted him saying, "I'm burning, I'm sweating".
'She said she had a pain in her stomach.
'When she got home, her friend - who is a lodger there - was in the front room. She said to him, "I feel like I've been spiked".
'My mum clearly stated in her text messages that there was something seriously wrong with her.
'I understand that things are very complicated.
'My main thing is that my mum was very loved, but there is a possibility this could have happened.
'We're not ruling that it is, it's still
