Soon after Ms Lyttle\u2019s death, her daughter, Jade, spoke of her heartbreak, knowing her mother was in the restaurant\u2019s disabled toilet while people there were eating and drinking.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police have told us that customers were complaining that they couldn\u2019t get into the toilet, but they assumed something had happened with the lock. They then opened up the disabled toilet and found her on the Saturday morning,\u201d the Daily Mail<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m angry because she could have been found sooner, they should have done the usual toilet checks. It\u2019s heartbreaking because we know she was left in the cold, on her own.<\/p>\n \u201cI know she was dead but it\u2019s the fact she was there while people were eating and drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n CCTV footage showed Ms Lyttle entering the restaurant\u2019s bathroom at 8.30pm on November 28 and she was not seen again.<\/p>\n The inquest was told Ms Lyttle was a prolific drug user and was on a methadone treatment program. She had just been released from prison after serving three weeks.<\/p>\n A crack pipe was found on the floor next to her.<\/p>\n A police officer called to testify said he knew Ms Lyttle and that she had likely gone into the restaurant to seek refuge from the cold. She had no fixed address.<\/p>\n \u201cMy hypothesis at the time was she possibly entered the toilet to keep warm and that her death was caused by the drugs or because of a medical episode,\u201d Detective inspector Liam Davy said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was no evidence of outside involvement.\u201d<\/p>\n Consultant forensic pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd told the inquest methadone may have impacted Ms Lyttle\u2019s lung capacity, while cocaine found in her system could have caused her heart to fail.<\/p>\n![\"Sabrina](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/6aac8340d5f3addbddf4fc5f8256d25df6fec480.jpg\")
