Georgia Littlewood, 17, was rushed to Huddersfield Infirmary when she started vomiting and mumbling incoherently, but died the next day.
The family of teenage girl who accidentally killed herself with an overdose of paracetamol tablets to cure a stomach ache has called for tougher restrictions on the drug.
Georgia Littlewood, 17, is thought to have taken more than the recommended dose of the medication after calling in sick to the hairdressers where she worked part-time as office clerk.
Unaware of the dose's deadly consequences, Georgia went to stay with her boyfriend.
But her condition suddenly deteriorated and she was rushed into hospital with severe liver damage.
She died the following day.
The cause of death was acute liver failure due to paracetamol toxicity.
