Naomi Musenga died of paracetamol poisoning

On December 29, Naomi Musenga, 22, desperately called for emergencies, complaining of severe stomach pain. Her call was not taken seriously by the emergency call center operator, however, and the young woman would have had to wait until 2:20 before a doctor took care of her.
She died in the resuscitation department of Strasbourg University Hospital, shortly after taking charge.

The recording of the conversation was then broadcast by Naomi Musenga's relatives, provoking the indignation, the sneering and the anger of the whole of France.

Organ failure due to excess paracetamol

Strasbourg prosecutor Yolande Renzi has just announced the opening of a judicial inquiry for "non-assistance to anyone in danger against the operator of the emergency call center and all others, as well as the head of manslaughter against X ". The prosecutor further stated that the young woman had been a victim of "paracetamol intoxication absorbed by self-medication over several days. The evolutionary destruction of the cells of his liver resulted in a failure of all his organs leading quickly to his death, "reports Le Parisien.

Excess paracetamol is indeed toxic to the liver, so never take more than 3 g to 4 g of paracetamol per day for a healthy adult, taking care to space the catch at least 4 hours. The dosage is specified on the leaflet, especially for children, according to their weight.

And if the pain persists more than three days, or does not pass despite taking painkillers, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
