New Zealander Rachael Dixon has been identified as the woman who passed away shortly after consuming a suspected poisoned mushroom drink at the Soul Barn Creative Wellbeing Centre in Clunes, Victoria.
53-year-old Dixon was born and raised in Southland.
Emergency services responded late Saturday night after receiving reports of an individual falling ill from ingesting a beverage. Dixon suffered cardiac arrest and could not be revived. Two other individuals present were hospitalised but have since been discharged.
The Age reports authorities are investigating whether the drink Dixon consumed contained mushrooms.
In a heartfelt tribute on Facebook, Dixon’s son Matthew expressed his love and gratitude for his mum, describing her as incredibly supportive and caring.
