Rachel Whitear Biography

Rachel Whitear is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 6, 1979 in Weymouth, United States. Rachel Jayne Whitear (6 February 1979 – 10 May 2000) was a young woman from Withington, Herefordshire, England, who died in Exmouth, Devon, following a heroin overdose. Her death in May 2000 led to a large-scale anti-drugs campaign in Britain, particularly in secondary schools, when her parents allowed the publication of a police photograph of her body, collapsed on the floor and discoloured. The school campaign was centered on a 22-minute video called Rachel’s Story. The campaign was compared to the anti-ecstasy drive undertaken after the death of English school girl Leah Betts in 1995 and a parallel incident culminating in the death of Australian schoolgirl Anna Wood in Sydney.

In 2008 her parents were reported to be considering legal action against the British National Party (BNP), who used the photograph of Rachel’s body in a political leaflet. The BNP refused to apologise for the use of the image.

In August 1999 she began studying at the University of Bath, but had dropped out and moved to Exmouth by early January 2000. She had jobs in a bar in Bath and a shop in Exmouth. Whitear had a history of substance abuse from the age of 14, which progressed to heroin addiction. She had suffered overdoses in early 2000, but by the time of her death had been engaging with drug counselling and was seeking employment and medical treatment.

Whitear’s body was exhumed on 23 March 2004, and a second investigation, by Wiltshire Police, this time including a post-mortem. The inquest returned an open verdict. In October 2006, the High Court overturned the decision of Elizabeth Earland, Exeter and Greater Devon District Coroner, not to grant a request for a new inquest, after evidence from Russell Fortt, counsel for Chief Superintendent Paul Howlett of Wiltshire Police, told the court there had been a “highly material failure to carry out reliable toxicology tests which was compounded by the failure to carry out a post-mortem”. He said that a significant body of evidence now existed which was not previously before the coroner. Additionally, there has been speculation that Whitear may have been killed by her boyfriend.
