Doctor says woman who fell down laundry chute drugged but not incapacitated
REGINA — An inquest into the death of a woman who fell 10 storeys down a laundry chute at a Regina hotel has been told she had high levels of drugs and alcohol in her system but was not incapacitated.
Nadine Machiskinic, 29, died in hospital after she was found at the bottom of the chute in January 2015.
Her death was ultimately ruled accidental, but her family does not believe she could have gotten into the small chute on her own.
On Wednesday, Dr. Chris Keddy, a toxicology expert, testified by phone from Ottawa that Machiskinic had a blood alcohol level of .105, or just above the legal driving limit of .08.
